还土地以尊严--从土地伦理和生态伦理视角看农业伦理

摘要

土地伦理强调土地本身是生命的集合，土壤、昆虫、微生物、水等构成了一个土地共同体，人附属于这个土地共同体。从土地伦理视角看，工业化农业虽然可能在短期内使人的利益有所提高，但是会损害土地共同体的利益，所以是不合乎土地伦理的。相比之下，中国的传统农业则是既合乎中国传统伦理，也合乎西方概念下的土地伦理和生态伦理。%Land ethics emphasizes the land itself as a collection of lives—soil, insects, microorganisms, and water forming a community, while human beings belong to this community. From the perspective of land eth-ics, industrial agriculture may help human beings increase short-term benefits within short terms but will def-initely damage the interests of this community, thus conflicting with land ethics. In contrast, China’s tradi-tional agriculture is both in accord with China’s traditional ethics and the western concepts of land ethics and ecological ethics.
