罗尔斯顿自然价值论探究
Research on Rolston’s Natural Value Theory

罗尔斯顿以自然价值为根基构建起了他的环境伦理学体系，在他看来自然本身是一个独立的价值主体，自然拥有属于它自身的价值和善。在他的自然价值论中，自然价值不依赖于人的主观意识而改变，自然不只是被人类用来满足需求和偏好的工具，而是自然成为了道德主体，是人类和一切事物的根源。罗尔斯顿的生态伦理观打破了在传统伦理中仅限于人与人之间的伦理关系，对当代生态哲学的转向有着重要的作用，也为我国生态文明建设事业提供了有益借鉴。
Ralston constructed his environmental ethics system based on natural values. In his view, nature itself is an independent value subject, with its own values and goodness. In his theory of natural values, natural values do not depend on human subjective consciousness to change, and nature is not just a tool used by humans to meet needs and preferences, but has become a moral subject, It is the root of humanity and all things. Rolston’s ecological ethics breaks the traditional ethical relationship that is limited to interpersonal relationships and plays an important role in the shift of contemporary ecological philosophy. It also provides useful reference for the construction of ecological civilization in China.
