摘要
生态系统是生态文明建设的物质基础和重要载体,然而对于生态系统是否存在这一实在性问题始终存在争论。本文从生态学史的角度出发,概述了不同学者关于生态系统实在性问题的主要观点,在此基础上,对产生于生态学界的关于生态系统实在性的哲学争论进行了系统梳理。
Ecosystem is the material foundation and important carrier of ecological civilization construction. However, there is always a debate about whether ecosystem exists or not. From the perspective of ecological history, this paper summarizes the main viewpoints of different scholars on the problem of ecosystem realism, and on this basis, systematically sorts out the philosophical debates on ecosystem realism arising from the ecological field.
