Abstract: This thesis introduces what deep ecology as a discipline covers and its development and present situation, and expounds the relationship between deep ecologyand ecological ethics. The author thinks that the two disciplines are closely interconnected but have different emphasis. Deep ecology stresses the deep philosophical questioning about the intrinsic value of nature, man's place in nature, and ecological systems etc. while ecological ethics focuses on the moral relationship between man and nature, the natural moral principles and the moral criteriafor judging people's behavior towards nature.

摘要： 本文介绍了西方新兴学科深层生态学的学科内涵、发展概况,论述了深层生态学与生态伦理学的关系。认为深层生态学更侧重对自然、人在自然中的位置、生态系统等进行深层的哲学追问,因而可以说深层生态学就是生态哲学。生态伦理学则着重研究人与自然的道德关系,制订自然道德原则,为评判人们利用自然、改造自然的目标与实践活动提供价值标准。
