从唯物史观视野探析生态危机形成的根源

人类面临生态危机已成为共识,而全球生态环境的恶化仍在继续;究其原因,有人主张是“人类中心主义”。然而,形成生态危机的原因错综复杂,不能简单地归咎于“人类中心主义”。用马克思主义唯物史观分析,生态危机的形成与生产力、生产关系(经济基础)乃至上层建筑都有关系。     

美与生态健康在语境性审美体验中的整合——以伊顿的审美理论为讨论中心

借鉴生态学知识与原理来重新解释审美活动及其一系列关键词是生态美学建构的重要组成部分,针对生态危机这个时代语境来重释"美"的要点则是解释它与"生态健康"的内在关联,其理论难点是将认识性的、不可感知的"生态健康"内容有机地融合到审美体验之中,从而建构出有别于传统之"美"的"生态健康之美",进而将传统的审美体验转化为生态审美...     

Creating Settings for Youth Empowerment and Leadership: An Ecological Perspective

Youth development programs are increasingly focusing on youth empowerment and leadership, a shift which often requires adult staff to adopt new roles and practices. This article explores staff practice in the context of a multisite initiative designed to engage marginalized youth in social change through youth-led grants. Interviews with youth workers and managers revealed practices at multiple ecological levels. Individual-level practices supported youths’ capacities to participate. Group-level practices fostered social interactions and activities that actualized the youth-led approach. Setting-level practices created structures that supported and protected group activities while organization-level practices promoted a favorable environment for youth leadership. Analyzed from an ecological and activity settings perspective, these results contribute to understanding the multifaceted and complex nature of youth work in power-sharing practice models. Practice implications include identifying training needs to help practitioners navigate across multiple ecological levels and suggesting reflection questions for practitioners.     

Why economics needs to be distinguished from physics,and why economists need to talk to physicists: a response to Foster and Holleman

Foster and Holleman argue that the systems ecologist H.T. Odum offered a valid theoretical framework for conceptualizing ecologically unequal exchange, and demonstrate its affinity with the Marxian theory of unequal exchange of embodied labour. However, both approaches suffer from the same fundamental confusion of the biophysical and the economic. The affinity between labour and energy theories of the unequal exchange of value was demonstrated by S.C. Lonergan already in 1988, but to thus define asymmetric transfers of biophysical resources in terms of underpaid ‘use values’ is misleading. Foster's recent endorsement of Odum is inconsistent with his earlier rejection of Odum's intellectual ancestor S. Podolinsky. While the ambition to ecologize Marx is laudable, it is in the interests of correct historiography and contemporary environmental justice activism to untangle some of the analytical problems in Foster and Holleman's article. A major problem is their failure to acknowledge the implications of N. Georgescu-Roegen's conceptualization of the relation between economics and thermodynamics.     

强化环境法治建设生态文明

建设生态文明已成为落实科学发展观、构建和谐社会、实现经济社会环境协调发展的迫切任务.其路径依赖为:发展循环经济,转变经济增长方式;加强生态伦理教育,提高全民族的生态道德素质;强化环境法治,建立和完善生态安全的法律支撑体系.     

建设生态文明，实现社会可持续发展

中共十七大报告明确提出“生态文明”的概念,并将生态文明作为全面建设小康社会的一个目标要求。中国进行生态文明建设不仅具有很强的理论依据,而且是解决经济高速增长过程中诸多问题、实现经济社会可持续发展的内在需要。因此,一要加强生态文明教育和宣传,在全社会树立生态文明观念;二要加快转变经济发展方式,加强能源资源节约和生态环境保护;三要完善环保的法律和政策体系,为生态文明建设提供法律和政策保障。     

生态文明和中国环境资源保护多元体系的构建

该文提出,改善生态环境质量,实现经济社会的可持续发展是构建和谐社会的重要内容,需要构建和完善包含环境资源法律法规、环境政策和保护环境资源的乡规民约的多元保护体系。

论土地资源生态补偿

生态补偿包括国家通过征收环境资源税以保证政府提供土地资源生态产品的公共服务职能;亦包括对因公共利益(生态保护)的需要而受到损失或者付出经济代价的人给予公正的补偿。土地资源生态补偿必须贯彻一种整体主义的生态补偿观。就我国现行的土地资源生态补偿立法和制度运作而言,其现实可行的模式只能是政府主导型。土地资源环境资源税收以生态受益者对国家所进行的环境经济行为机会成本进行补偿为征收标准;土地资源公益征收性质的生态补偿应当贯彻以被征收人生活水平不低于征收前为补偿标准,其补偿范围包括法律规范所规定并予以救济的维生上的财产性不利益和非财产性不利益。     

我国生态环境恢复立法析要

生态环境的可持续发展是实现经济和社会可持续发展的前提。生态环境的可持续发展既需要预防生态环境退化,还应根据生态环境发生退化的程度对其进行事后恢复。生态环境恢复关系到＂当代人＂和＂后代人＂的环境权益。与传统环境立法不同,生态环境恢复立法更强调对已经被破坏的生态环境进行事后救济。我国现行立法中,这方面的法律规范尚有诸多缺失,应加强生态环境恢复方面的立法,为生态环境的可持续发展提供法制保障。
