The Research On Ecological Philosophical Ideology Of Pre-Qin Taoism

Pre-Qin Taoism contained rich ecological wisdom, these ecological ideas was constructed with Tao’s ontology. In the face of the current global ecological crisis, the ecological ideas of pre-Qin Taoism was strongly commended by the Chinese and foreign scholars in respectively, who read it from the aesthetic, management science, ethics and even medical point of Taoist ecological ideology mining, and thought that Taoism ecological ideas provided theoretical foundation to solve the ecological crisis and other issues, but also had practical significance.The research of pre-Qin Taoism ecological philosophy was mainly contented of three aspects systematically — the conception of nature, the ecological values, and the View of ecological science and technology. The natural concept of pre-Qin Taoism was the main idea of “oneness of nature and man” as the foundation, human and nature was a unified organic whole, the thought of "All things and I are one" was characteristic of Taoism. In pre-Qin Taoism advocated dialectical thinking things were changing motion. The Supreme Being “Tao” is not quiet, while the nature which was born from “Tao” and ran according to the “Tao” was in a constant state of movement and development. Pre-Qin Taoism also believed that this generation development of all things there was a certain inherent laws. Ecological values of Taoism was mainly from an ecological point of view to explore the relationship between man and nature, Taoism advocates non-anthropocentric, “Tao”, “Heaven”, “Earth” and “Human” were in an equal relationship, in other words, there was no center to anyone in the ecological idea of equality in pre-Qin Taoism, so that humans could not deny the intrinsic value of the natural world. On the contrary, it required human beings should respect and protect the rights of the natural world, as the human and the natural world were homogeneous and the survival of humanity is inseparable from nature; a view on the development of science and technology of pre-Qin Taoism was from the ecological perspective, it had two main contents, The first part was on the Taoism scientific knowledge, mainly divided into “to know the Tao” and “learning the Empirical knowledge”two aspects, Taoism’s attitude towards the latter was a the judge’s attitude, while the former was a positive attitude, Taoism proposed requirements, that was to say, self-denying state and intuitive way to realize “Tao”, The other part was the pre-Qin Taoism ecological technology thought, and Taoism also presented the two very different attitudes, According to clarify it was not hard to find, the Taoism of technology choice was “Tao” as the standard, the pre-Qin Taoism of “resourcefulness ingenious” criticism to the alienation of science and technology, ecological crisis, human nature distortion was a predictable view.Facing the crisis of contemporary, human survival and development was threatened, but the ecological philosophy of Taoism had many aspects of the contemporary values: First of all, it provided the guide of ecological thinking mode for our human, changed the original anthropocentrism of false consciousness; Second, it standardized the knowledge check content of the code of conduct for us. Finally, the pre-Qin Taoism provided more ecological orientation of technological development for the contemporary human, that is, “Follow Tao to control technology”. It was about the reflection of technology development and application, the concerns for human survival environment worsening, the warning from the simple humanity to deterioration and so on.After all, the background of the development of Taoist ecological thoughts of philosophy was the small-scale peasant economy. It had its own limitations, such as: absolute denial of human experience and knowledge, a whole sale rejection of ideological and technological development because of science and technology would bring hidden dangers, criteria of science and technology choice was too unitary. Therefore, treating pre-Qin Taoism ecological philosophy thought, we should have a dialectical attitude, so that it can really work for us.
