Abstract: Mathematicalization of nature inevitably result in the thinking model of objectization and the idea that nature is the object conquered and controlled by mankind. Since modern age, success of science and technology is also to foster mankind's arrogance and conceit toward nature and result in the mistaken idea that mankind can obtain infinite and profound mystery of nature with limited knowledge. Contemporary ecological crisis originate in this epistemology. Therefore, in order to get out of the ecological crisis, mankind must be deep to realize the finitude of mankind and seek to return the “learned ignorance”, thereby, keep the awe toward infinite ultimate reality.

Key words: ecological crisis, objectization of nature, ultimate reality, finitude of mankind

摘要： 对自然的数学化必然导致人类对自然的对象化思维,从而把自然当作可以加以征服和驾驭的对象物;近代以来科学技术的成功运用更是助长了人类对自然的狂妄,误认为以人类有限的智慧能认识自然的无限奥秘。这是造成当代全球性生态危机的认识论根源。因此,为了走出当代生态危机,人类必须深刻认识到自己认识的有限性,找回“有学识的无知”,从而对无限的终极实在保持应有的敬畏之感。
