The relations between human being and the nature are one of the core questions of ecology ethics research. Over a long time, the worsening of ecological environment is continuously puzzling and restricting social development, one of the important reasons is that people haven't correctly understood this question and thus fail to make the reasonable explanation. In present era, on the one hand, because human being is grasping the words power, the nature is usually described as one kind of object existence, i.e. nature is being understood as natural objects superimposition. Based on this kind of understanding ,people often regard the relations between human and nature as the relations between human and the natural objects (or the sum of natural objects );On the other hand, the relations between human being and nature are simplified as one kind of indirect relations among human beings, because human being put themselves in the position of absolute value subject and put human's benefits in the universe center. Thus, all the moral restraints for human behaviours can be formed within human beings themselves.Then, people feel hard to get rid of all sorts of theories puzzledom which the anthropocentrism brings. Therefore, the author believed that we must position the nature and human being from the level of transcending human being themselves so as to solve the ecological environment problem truly, thus can realize truly the manners which human being should have when facing the nature. Here, we could find this kind of view point with transcendence significance from Heidegger's thought and thus seek the base and method of solving this problem.In Heidegger's thought, only being are the source foundation for myriad things (including human being) .Under the background of the being, human and nature relations have the brand-new localization. On the one hand, Heidegger thinks the nature as being in the sense of beings in their entirety, it is having one kind of strength of gathering everything to itself. On the other hand, neither human being is the absolute subject, nor is the basis for beings, because human itself is only one kind of beings, but not being;But human being could actually be one of beings who could comprehend being itself before other kind of beings, as Heidegger says, they are the one of beings that are closest to being. Thus, Heidegger hypothesizes the nature as the base of human being based on the ontology significance , at the same time human being are requested to positively respect nature as being itself when facing it. So, humanity's behavior must take the natural existence as the basis, thus the subjectiveness inflation caused by humanity's words hegemony has been avoided. From this ,we could say Heidegger understands the naturalenvironment is the true foundation for the human survival. Based on this, he re-evaluated the status of human being and the nature, requesting that human being understand and respect the nature on the being significance, and even respect the natural objects in certain degree. Finally, Heidegger positions human being's status in nature as the herder, requesting that human being should hold one kind naturally dignified attitude when dealing with nature and protect the nature's existence as it is. Heidegger defines this best harmony between nature and human being for "the poetic sentiment dwells", and thus sets up the nature's position as human being's survival foundation, at the same time makes the main body significance stipulation for human being regarding the natural behaviors.Although Heidegger has not written a direct ethics work all through his life, but the author believed that, any kind of ethics cannot be merely the simple moral standards or the moral principles, but must be the establishment on the ontology basis. Heidegger's discussion of being and human being's existence condition is precisely an ontology basis for ecology ethics. Therefore, we believe that the ethics spirits based on this will become the important mentality for human being to explore the ecology ethics issues.
