從演化倫理學的立場談非人類中心主義的環境倫理如何可能？

Perspective of Evolutionary Ethics on Possibility of Non-authropocentrism in Environmental Ethics

本文的討論以演化倫理學作為主要立場，說明非人類中心主義的環境倫理學如何可能。筆者所進行的省思，乃是在人類中心主義與自然中心主義之外，思索一個不同的進路，一個能夠奠基於經驗事實，兼顧人類的福祉與環境的保護。演化倫理學提醒我們，真正人類自身福祉的考慮，乃是不侷限於眼前的利益，而是能在永續的觀點下兼顧環境與生態平衡，不是只考慮到人類自身的利益，或一昧地固守過度理想化的自然中心主義。

This article discusses the possibility of non-anthropocentrism in environmental ethics from a perspective of evolutionary ethics. This research tries to find a new approach based on empirical facts and the consideration of human happiness and environmental conservation beyond anthropocentrism and egocentrism. Evolutionary ethics reminds us that human beings should consider ecological balance and human interests in a view of sustainability, because those extreme orientations, such as egocentrism and anthropocentrism, are inadequate.
