Abstract: On research of ecological ethics presently, anthropocentrism and non-anthropocentrism controvert actively about whether natural materials possess their ethical positions. The un-conciliation of their controversy and un-consent of their prspectives mean that the ecological ethics itself is undergoing a severe crisis of metaphysics. The basic reason of the crisis is that the controversy on human's value has led to the human's none-presence in the research of ecological ethics in a precondition without specifying‘what is human’. The metaphysical basis of the ecological ethics is not on whether the natural materials possess their ethical positions, but on the condition of ‘humans human’. Only if the human beings become the ones who protect the natural environment and possess the humanity of protecting the natural environment,can they protect the natural environment consciously.

Key words: ecological ethic, humanity, metaphysics

摘要： 在目前的生态伦理学研究中,人类中心主义和非人类中心主义围绕着自然物有无道德地位展开了激烈的争论。这种争论的不可调和性以及它们观点的不可公度性,表明生态伦理学自身发生了严重的形上学危机。导致这种危机的一个根本原因是:在没有确立“人是什么”的前提下,就展开了人与价值的争论,致使生态伦理学研究出现了人的空场。生态伦理的形上学基础,不是自然物有无道德地位,而是人之为人。人惟有首先成为保护自然环境的人,拥有保护自然环境的人性,他才能够自觉地保护自然环境。
