Seeking Philosophical Foundations for Ecological Civilization: Natural Theology East and West
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The chief purposes of the present paper are twofold. One is to maintain that underlying the breakdown of the bioecological system conducive to the increasing environmental crises threatening the sustainable existence of both mankind and nature, has been a breakdown of the psycho-ecological (or spiritual ecological) system that was featured by the prevalence of scientism and waning of humanity. The other is to suggest that the restoration of the traditions of Natural Theology in China based on Shangshu and Yijing and Natural Theology in the West taught by Aristotle, Aquinas, and A.N. Whitehead, serve for the philosophical foundation for the coming of ecological civilization.
