Ecological Ethics is a major issue that can not be avoided to philosopher orphilosophical workers in the middle of the last century,whice has now formed arelatively complete research system and paradigm. Ecological ethics concerned themacro-ethical issues of the contemporary world, is the backbone of disciplines in theenvironmental philosophy, is also a cross-disciplinary, it will be the earth and the wholeuniverse as an indivisible whole, that ethics is not just about ethics, moralresponsibilities and obligations that should exist between man and nature, therefore itanalyzes the ethical relationship of human and natural, to rid mankind of the ecologicalpredicament as the fundamental purpose, focusing on the interests of most people andthe world, and social ethics both to distinguish between the contact to constitute theentire ethical issues. Ralston is the discipline of the most influential and richest one ofthe system of the philosopher, he not only established the existence of ecological ethics,rationality, and able to distinguish social ethics area, making this disciplines have theirown research object, the scope and characteristics.Ralstons’ecological ethics is to reveal a complete, perfect, stable symbiosis ofnatural or ecological system in the most fundamental purport, the entire system is also acommunity of life, it is the root of the natural values (universal value), is constantlyevolving with primary or secondary Community, the nature of things in this naturalrelationship, harmonious another conflict, they are interdependent, has its ownprinciples and values.Therefore, the so-called eco-Ralston as a whole is a complexwhole, it appeared to the overall structure consisting of staggered as a kind of intrinsicvalue in its structure, reflected in their experience model as a "wilderness" experiencemodel, in its evolutionprocess for the species and the environment, species and species,the overall advancement of man and nature, these three levels, these three aspectstogether constitute the patterns of ecological holism. This shows that the the Ralstoneco-ethical holism change than ever before, the concept of ecological ethics, the use ofit the moral and ethical living entity that all beings who contains all entities of theorganic sector and the inorganic sector, Such expansion but in reality beyond. Ralston isnot a simple expansion of the scope of the moral object, and on this basis, demonstrated that natural things have intrinsic objective value, it does not rely on others to existindependently, and the need for this value, because This value is also human values.Eco-ethical holism beyond anthropocentrism, the natural value as a fundamentalvalue of the rights and freedoms of the people are placed into the natural ecology as awhole will be limited, because the interests of the ecological whole people to give upmaterial things, rather than the requirements naturally meet my attitude, this is a newconcept for the modern environmental movement, to some extent to promoteenvironmental protection, but as the theoretical form of holism, it also has manyinadequacies, and even been accused of environmental fascism, with a pan of a holisticorientation.
