“Human” in “Nature Dialectics”:the Human Ontology of Ecological Ethics

In Nature Dialectics,Enges made scientific and dialectic interpretation of nature from the perspective of nature and history.From the perspective of nature,human is the existence of protein,sharing the same features with non-human beings,and that is the superficial meaning of human.Ethics,therefore,should go beyond the focused attention to beings and expand the limit of community,involving nature in it.From the perspective of history,human is the product of labor,and the self-production of human′s activities of recognizing and changing the world.That is the deeper meaning of human.The fact that labor involves objects decides the interdependent relationship between and nature,which makes view nature as moral client inevitably in logic.In this way,Enges interpretation of nature goes beyond not only the natural human of non-anthropocentrism,but also the rational human of anthropocentrism,which provides ecological ethics with sufficient ontological ground.
