“可持续发展”作为一种新的发展观,自上个世纪晚期提出后受到国际学术界的普遍关注。但从目前研究的情况看,大多注重的是可持续性发展“如何可能”的问题,较少涉及“是否可能”的问题。本文从伦理学视角,重点探讨发展得以“可持续性”面临的难题,发展与可持续性的相互关系,以及如何走出人类面临的生存危机和发展困境,进而实现人与自然、人与社会在更高层次上的和谐与发展。 As a new concept of development, “sustainable development” has drawn the universal attention of international academic circles since it was put forward in the late last century. However, from the current research situation, most of them focus on the issue of sustainable development, “how can it be” and less about the issue of “is it possible”? From the perspective of ethics, this paper focuses on the relationship between the development, the sustainability and the problems facing development, and how to get out of the survival crisis and development dilemma confronting mankind so as to realize the relationship between man and nature, man and nature Society at a higher level of harmony and development.
