当代西方生物中心主义递进轨迹及其评析
The Progressive Trajectory of Contemporary Western Biocentrism and Its Evaluation
摘要
Abstract
Biocentrism is one of the contemporary Western non-anthropocentric environmental ethical trends.Albert Schweitzer advocated extending ethical concern to all living beings,laying the foundation for modern biocentrism;Paul Taylor proposed a"reverence for life"biocentrism based on the understanding of organisms'"good"and"inherent value",and formulated corresponding normative principles;Robin Attfield presented his biocentrism through key dimensions such as the hierarchy of moral concern for organisms,the intrinsic value and benefits of animals and plants,and a two-dimensional evaluation criterion encompassing priority of rights and global citizenship;James P.Sterba redefined the concept of moral agents and innovated ethical principles from a pluralistic perspective.Having undergone multiple challenges in aspects such as the distribution of values and rights,ethical interaction,and practical application in the real world,biocentrism provides a new path for human moral self-cultivation.It represents an ethical transformation of humanity from egoism to a higher level of moral pursuit,advancing the process of in-depth reflection on the relationship between humans and nature.关键词
