Along with environment question prominent day by day, the people start to examine the idea to treat the natural value. Is actually the humanity at what position in the nature, whether to have the value naturally as well as have what value, the educational world has carried on proof and the discussion in every way? When can not but carry on the new ponder to the traditional theory of value, Rolston proposed the philosophy wilderness trend, namely the nature has the intrinsic value theory.However, about the person and the nature relations question's elaboration, based on the theory of value viewpoint, in the numerous academic literatures, mostly is at present with two surfaces which takes naturally opposes carries on the human the research. But the humanity is a nature part after all, places the research which the human the pure value or beneficiary's angle carries on, obviously is insufficient. Based on this, Rolston in its environment ethics thought that talked about the human to take in an Earth integrated system's essential factor emphatically, in real life practice significance.
