Abstract

|
This article consists of three parts. The first part discusses modern Eco-philosophy of the West; Arne Naess’s Ecosophy T and Thomas Berry’s Life Community. In the second part, this article deals with traditional Wang Yang-ming’s Han-mom philosophy of the East. In the last part, this article examines the possibility of the mutual aid between Eco-philosophy and Han-mom philosophy to solve the modern eco-crises. Arne Naess insists to enlarge self from narrow egoistic self to Self embracing all life forms on the planet and then to maximize (long-range, univeral) Self-realization, diversity and symbiosis. Thomas Berry insists that our sense of reality and of value must shift from an anthropocentric to a biocentric norm of reference. And we must begin by accepting the fact that the life community, the community of all living species,
is the greater reality and the greater value. Han-mom philosophy is based on the dynamic capacity for self-organization of
universal all nature, psychological and physical property of Chi(氣), and reciprocity between human and nature. And it insists that we must remove individual desire and rehabilitate the original benevolence and the sense of pain toward universal all nature through our own internal self-awakening and then we have not only to realize human life-essence but also to embody creative realization of natural life through the practical activity of affection for natural world. Eco-philosophy can make a firm basis which can put its principles into dynamic and practical activity by supplement of Han-mom philosophy. And Han-mom philosophy can be a practical alternative plan to solve the problem related with ecological crisis by meet with such eco-philosophy that suggests the concrete counterproposal to solve the modern ecological problems through analyzing the diverse background of ecological problems and basing on the results of ecology.
