生态学:袖珍指南

(重定向自生态学:袖珍指南

生态学:袖珍指南》(Ecology: A pocket guide,1998年初版,2008年修订)是欧内斯特·卡伦巴赫于20世纪写的一本读物。

书中呼喊道:“世界将堕入地狱,除非你到那儿去抗议!”[1]。书末,作者乐观地面对生态意识的觉醒:“在历史的某些伟大的转折点,核心价值观变得枯竭耗尽,或存在一些问题,人们于是设计出新的价值观,希望使他们能活得更好。随着资本主义的兴盛,西方人采纳了这样的信念,即技术能解决我们的一切问题,并且技术是生活中最重要的东西,而宗教和文化则成了次要的了。目前,许多美国人正在寻求逃避扩张主义的工业文明价值观(体现在大增长的主要观念),并在与生态相联系的价值观(体现在可持续性的核心理念)下生活的方式。”[2]

With the rise of capitalism, Western peoples have adopted the belief that technology can solve all our problems and is the most important thing in life while religious and cultural matters have become secondary. At the moment, many Americans are seeking ways to escape the values of expansionist industrialism (embodied in the key idea of Growth) and live by new values associated with ecology (embodied in the key idea of sustainability).
