Title: Why ecological ethics is possible:from the perspective of responsibility
Abstract: The legitimacy of ecological ethics has long remained undecided.The conventional ethicists hold that nature has inherent value and features to sense bitterness,happiness and etc.,and thus expands human ethics to nature,which is a rigid and media-lacking grafting of ethics and value.Why ecological ethics is possible can find the answer in ethics itself.There are two basic ranges of relation and responsibility in the essential regulation of ethics: the existence of ethics relation is absolute and ethics itself implies a kind of unconditional responsibility.Since responsibility serves as media between human beings and nature in ecological ethics,ecological ethics can well be regarded responsibility ethics.
