Philosophical Interpretation Of Three Stages Of The Development Of The Western Environmental Ethics

Western environmental ethics went through from late nineteenth Century to earlytwentieth Century, and from early twentieth Century to the period of incubationwhich was founded in the mid twentieth Century period and the mature period ofdevelopment since the mid twentieth Century. The period of western environmentalethics' gestation, environmental conditions began to deteriorate, Western started thefirst environmental protection movement, based on the relationship between manand nature they consider form the anthropocentrism thoughts, this praise worthy forone's excellent conduct, but the environment human center this anthropocentricdoctrine did not preserve. Founded in the western environmental ethics inenvironmental situation it continued to deteriorate, the West has raised the secondenvironmental protection movement, the formation of natural environmental ethicswent thought on the relationship between man and nature. In the westernenvironmental ethics development mature period, the western state of theenvironment continued to deteriorate, the West has raised the third environmentalprotection movement, the formation of nature center doctrine and the"Anthropocentrism" appeared on the relationship between man and nature.Nature center doctrine and the "Anthropocentrism"s starting point is to solve theenvironmental crisis. And they are both for spreading Marx's view of ethics andvalues to nature, which is different that we go from the nature center doctrine thatwe lost people, social kill people.And "Anthropocentrism" in the relationshipbetween man and nature preferred people-centered, then for the relative naturecenter doctrine, this is a great progress, but the "Anthropocentrism" preferred to thepeople of the relationship between ethics and value of nature, this also weakenedthe role of human-being.So the nature centrism and the "Anthropocentrism" can not solve theenvironmental crisis. Selecting the path to solve the crisis is to realize the naturecenter doctrine and the "Anthropocentrism" s integration and transcendence, thenwe could reach the environment of Anthropocentrism which belongs to the categorystandard.
