摘要: | 近年來全球各地災變不斷,日本發生震驚國內外的「311大地震」,引發嚴重的核能外洩汙染。同樣的,台灣近年來亦災變頻傳,讓我們意識到全球環境危機與當下生活已密不可分,應當開始正視台灣的永續問題,並作出適當的調整因應。是此,本文基於目前全球極端氣候頻仍的事實,就環境倫理關懷向度深入探討了台灣環境永續的議題,並指出,一方面,未來環境永續政策取向除了應當照應環境經濟之外,更需要超越經濟考量;另一方面,目前的「永續經營」本身也有問題。循此,本文以《中庸》「誠身之道」的理念作為根據,嘗試解決台灣永續經營遭遇的環境難題。各物種存活在同一個「環境」之中,環境是否得以永續,是所有物種都會面對的危機,因此,身為道德能動者的人類投入相關奮鬥時,其意義何在?人類是否能解決「環境永續」的危機?此中,道德考量及道德實踐扮演了什麼角色?順著這些核心議題,本文採取《中庸》理念,再以「道德體驗論」為詮釋進路,希冀替環境永續解題,試圖證成一個由人倫關懷邁向對天地萬物應有的關懷(「誠身之道」發揮極致將使環境永續)的典範轉移,而藉由「明善誠身」和「擇善固執」之踐履,提出了一種環境永續展望。In recent years, serious natural disasters happen constantly around the world. The “311 earthquake” happened in Japan shocked the domestic and international, which leads to serious nuclear leakage of pollution. Similarly, natural disasters also occur more and more frequently all over Taiwan in recent years, and let us realize that the global environmental crisis and contemporary life are inseparable. It is the right time for us to confront the issue of Taiwan’s sustainable development and make appropriate adjustments. This paper attempts basing on the situation of Taiwan’s environment to interpret and illustrate the deep meaning as well as the environmental sustainable implications of the problems of Taiwan’s environment. I noted, on one hand, future environmental sustainability policy orientation not only should take care of the environmental economics, but also need to go beyond economic considerations; on the other hand, the present “sustainable management” itself is also a problem. In this manner, I attempt basing on the concept of the Zhong-yong (The Doctrine of the Mean) “sincerity itself” to try to solve the environmental problems encountered by Taiwan's sustainable management. I argue, due to the fact that a variety of species survival in the same “environment”, whether environment can be sustainable or not is a crisis for all species to face. Therefore, being a moral agent, what is the significance of human when they throw themselves into some related struggles? Can human solve the crisis of “environmental sustainability”? Among these processes, what roles do the ethical considerations and moral practice play? Based on these core issues, I adopt “the theory of moral experience” as an approach to interpret the concept of Zhong-yong, using it as an approach to solve the problem of environmental sustainability, and try to justify the argument of paradigm shift from human concern to the universe of care (To bring “sincerity itself” into full play will make environmental sustainability). In a word, I propose an outlook of environment sustainability by the practice on “understand what is Good -sincerity itself” and “to choose what is good and hold fast to it”. |
