Abstract
The enlightenment rationality, appearing in the process of the opposition to Christian theology and the feudal autocratic rule, presents its values when criticizing theocratic divinity, obscurantism and asceticism: to advocate human rights, human nature, and rational science and to attach importance to the secular life, freedom and equality so that people are liberated from the shackles of gods and asceticism, dignity of human restored, individuality presented, desire released, technological and economic miracles created. It is found that, however, from the perspective of eco⁃ethics, anti⁃nature tendency exists in values of enlightenment rationality, which is the conquest and exploitation of nature. In establishing human’s subjectivity, it emphasizes the separation of the subject and the object and the absolute autocracy of the subject and thus promotes the separation of human and nature. In identifying human��s nature, it pursues happiness which is characterized by abundant material life and desire satisfaction. In the pursuit of knowledge, knowledge is taken as a means to display human��s desire and to control the nature. Human��s rationality is taken as a tool, and enlightenment rationality falls into decadence. We will gradually achieve the governance of values rationality containing“significance”on tool rationality, substitute desire consumption with rational consumption, pursue ecological rationality based on the integration of human and nature so as to realize the coexistence and harmonious development of human and nature, and fulfill the salvation of enlightenment rationality. Through the reflection on enlightenment rationality, the values cause of the tension between human and nature in the process of modernization can be found, which facilitates the establishment of eco⁃ethical principle, the overcoming of ecological crisis, the development of ecological civilization to realize sustainable development.关键词
