现代环境伦理学的奠基者施韦泽对道家思想有深入研究,其敬畏生命的伦理思想深受道家思想影响,在敬畏和重视生命、将伦理的范围扩展到一切生物、对区分生命价值高低的否定等三个方面与道家思想颇多相通之处,可以说其思想对道家思想多所借鉴。道家没有像施韦泽那样坚持敬畏和重视生命的绝对性,避免了施韦泽思想中的缺陷。这充分反映了道家生态伦理思想的现代价值和生命力。 Schweizer, the founder of modern environmental ethics, has a thorough study of Taoism. His awe-inspiring ethical thought is deeply influenced by Taoism, awe and attention to life, extending the scope of ethics to all living things, and distinguishing the value of life Negation and other three aspects of the Taoism and the many similarities, we can say that his ideas on the Taoism more than the reference. The Taoists did not insist on the absoluteness of awe and emphasis on life as Schweitzer did, avoiding the flaws in Schweizer’s thought. This fully reflects the modern value and vitality of Taoist ecological ethics.
