| Nowadays, industrial civilization has brought productivity a rapid development and material fortune has unparalleledly increased. On the other hand, industrial civilization has led to environment pollution, resource shortage, mankind ecological crisis and even mankind existence crisis. As for the root of ecological crisis, opinions vary diversely among scientists and scholars. However, there comes a general belief that the ecological crisis may be rooted in the extreme anthropocentrism value conception of "mankind benefit is all" which has been gradually formed for a long time. Non-anthropocentrism Values is a philosophical thought, which is formed on the basis of criticizing the extreme anthropocentrism Values. It aims at enlarging the range of mankind's moral care, and advocating the intrinsic value of nature. The major schools of non-anthropocentrism are animal liberation/Rights theory, biocentrism and ecocentrism. Although the views of non-anthropocentrisms remain some limitations and even dispraise mankind to some extent, its theories such as ecological world views, holistic thinking pattern, the green product fashion, moderated consumption conception, ecological science conception, and the view of mankind and nature harmoniously getting along with each other, surely give us enlightenment and reference. Especially, under the circumstances of the ecological civilization's construction, it is of practical value to systematically examine and logically inspect the notion of "non-anthropocentrism" as well as the anthropocentrism values.
