Abstract

The philosophy of Zhuang Zi contains abundant thoughts of ecological ethnics,and it is of some points from ontology and shares common points with the post modern ecological philosophy in the west.The ideas of Zhuang Zi,Whitehead,Heidegger and Jonas share the same idea as to the inner compliance of human and nature.Although they started from different angles and focused on different aspects,and there are disparities and even biases,their efforts for the poetic existence of humans are admirable,which are of instructive significance to the solution of the relationship between human and nature.
