《万物既伟大又渺小》中的生态意蕴
Ecological Implications in All Creatures Great and Small

英国国家广播电视台改编自小说《万物既伟大又渺小》的同名电视剧集大获成功，但小说本身却没有受到应有的关注。在当前全球生态环境危机日益严峻的背景下，这部小说通过描绘上世纪宁静的乡村生活，巧妙地展现了生态共同体思想，值得深入的探讨。文章将从非人类中心主义的生态哲学视角出发，以奥尔多·利奥波德的“大地美学”和“生态整体论”及阿尔伯特·史怀哲的“敬畏生命”理念为框架，探讨小说如何构建起生态共同体思想。通过对这些主题的系统分析，文章探讨了小说中对自然、动物和生态的整体观。
The BBC adaptation TV series All Creatures Great and Small has garnered widespread acclaim, yet the novel itself has not received the attention it deserves. In the context of today’s escalating global environmental crisis, this novel skillfully presents the idea of an ecological community through its depiction of tranquil rural life in the last century, making it worthy of in-depth exploration. This paper approaches the novel from the perspective of non-anthropocentric ecological philosophy, using Aldo Leopold’s concept of “land ethics” and “ecological holism,” along with Albert Schweitzer’s principle of “reverence for life”, to examine how the novel constructs the idea of an ecological community. By systematically exploring these themes, this paper investigates the novel’s holistic view of nature, animals, and ecology.
