Hans Sachsse is a famous ecology philosopher, whose main viewpoint is centered on the book ecology philosophy. He analyses the concept of nature, technology and society detailed in the book, and discusses the relation ship between human being and the nature, human being and the technology and human being and the society, then discusses the problems among them and the way of solving the problems.Hans Sachsse's ecology philosophy has certain representativeness, and has certain effect in home and abroad. By researching his thoughts, we can to whose thought can know the relation ship of human being and the nature better , then develop the unification between human being and the nature better.â… , concept analysis of the nature, technology and human being Sachsse has carried out the historical period of the nature, and has suggested that we cannot regard the nature as one thing without change, but should understand the nature for a process. The Analysis natural concept has specially appointed history significance in every historical period, which this significance is consistent with people's ability of knowing and transforming nature. By researching Hans Sachsse's thought, we can understand the nature more deeply.Sachsse is a technology anthropologist; he regards the technology as the constitution of the developing of nature, thinks that the technology is the movement and extending of people's natural organ. From Sachsse's point of view, the technology connects human being and the nature, human being and society. Human being knows and transforms the nature toward the technology, and the development of technology has promoted society's formation and development.The demand of technology to specialization and laborer division of work makes the formation of the mutually complementary group, and the society who has taken form ultimately. The individual is an animal of society, individual and society is the intense complementation antagonistic relations. But together with the development of technology, people are more and more apart with each other.â…¡, the relation of the nature, the, technology and human being Sachsse thinks that human being and the nature are to get in touch with each other, and to affect each other. Human being can reform Nature on one hand; on the other hand they must abide by the law of nature. People can not control nature unlimited. Because human being not only have practicality but also have the natural ability. Human being is natural outcome, needs to accept the natural law. Human being must abide by a law of nature when exercising his activity.Human being and Nature are the unified world; the purpose of eco-philosophy is to seek the uniting of human being and the nature.Sachsse thinks that the technology both has brought about benefit for human being and, has brought about the negative effect. The technology has improved the function of natural organ of human being, has lightened human being's burden, and has made human being gain liberation. Technology has brought gigantic material wealth, has improved the living conditions of human being, has promoted human the formation of the society.Meanwhile, the technology has also produced many inactive effects. Includes the technology criticism, result criticism and romantic criticism. Technology has brought about human being position inequality, has promoted the formation of hierarchical system and governing system. Technology's development has initiated a lot of environment problem. Raw material shortage, environmental pollution, sharp subtraction of forest cover area as well as the whole world air temperature rises, these all are connected with technology.On person and society's relation, Sachsse thinks that person and society supplement mutually, counters against mutually. In the process of development of society, it has also produced a lot of problem between individual and society. In modern society, people are distrusting commonly, there is no way to form the fine harmonious social environment. Indifferent between human relations, people will be very difficult to understand each other. These all are abnormal but, are harmful for human being to live. Live only when in the harmonious society who works in unity and close cooperation, people will feel happy.Development of technology has shortened on-time, workers have owned self off-hour, but when people faces this time they do not make use of it, but send it away. We ought to make use of these to develop oneself during the past time.â…¢, the harmonious development of the natured, technology and human beingSachsse regards that if we want to develop the harmony of the nature and human being, we must respect the nature first. The nature has its dependent value, and this value naturally is inherent value, it will not change by human being's consciousness. Human being ought to respect the right of nature, that existing in the natural world, looks upon protection as our responsibility.Sachsse thinks that people has a lot of mistake views on treating the technology, think that technology has produced bad consequence indeed. But we can not criticize the technology blindly; we ought to rethink human being profoundly. Human being is the creator and user of technology, while the technology application brings about disaster consequence; human should not blame the technology, but ought to undertake responsibility bravely.Human being ought to understand the technology, can not impute all faults to technology. The technology has brought about a lot of problem in the process of usage indeed; human being should solve the problem active. But, the key of solving the problem is not canceling the technology, but developing and using a technology rationally. To the restraint that technology should accord with law of nature, must accord with entire ecological environment harmonious development at the same time also.People should also get along well with other person. There are a lot of contradiction and problem in our modern society. People are distrusting to others, being indifferent to others, and having formal an indifferent society. We can not be happy in such society. So we must care for others and understand others, then build a harmonious society.Besides, everyone all ought to pay attention to promoting ego. Development of society makes the off-hour that people owns more and more many , we ought to do some of meaningful things within these time, such as participating in volunteer exercising , protecting the animal and plant activity, participating the Project Hope activity and so on. Make use of off-hour to develop oneself, stretching one's knowledge field, probing the mystery of the universe, rethinking the living basis of human being. Then, our life will become especially happy and meaningful.In short, the researching of Hans Sachsse's philosophy is very significant. By the exploring of his thought, we can understand the relation ship of human being and the nature much better, knows human being's living environment, resolves ecocrisis confronted with by human being, and realizes harmonious development between man and nature.
