Documentary abstract — original language

The researchers in anthropocentrism do not admit that nature has the intelligence of human beingsor the divinity.They advocate“the impersonality”of nature.In epistemology,they emphasize theimportance of rational scientific and logical thinking towards nature.In scientific rational thinking nature iswithout intelligence and divinity.Owing to its need,the view of ecological ethics in anthropocentrism alwaysendows natural objects with the quality and position of“subject”,“inner value”and“right”.The viewadvocates attaching“enchantement”to nature.In epistemology,the view puts emphasis on irrationalthinking such as“intuition”,“realization”and“belief”.The interpretation of the content and therelationship between rational thinking and irrational thinking in ecological ethics,and the reflection on thearguments between anthropocentrism and non-anthropocentrism undoubtedly help to promote the study ofecological ethics.
