Abstract

The interview focuses on James Miller’s thinking about the relation between Daoism and ecology. Miller believes that, to develop a foundation for ecological sustainability, we need to break down the separation between human beings and the world we live in. This can be done by Daoist techniques of bodily cultivation, based on the concept of the body as porous and interpenetrating with the environment. Practices such as these will lay the groundwork for an aesthetic foundation of ecology.

摘要

此次访谈聚焦于詹姆士.米勒 (James Miller)对道家思想与生态学关联性的思考。米勒相信,为了构建生态可持续性发展,我们需要打破人类与居住环境彼此分离的状态。依托于人体与自然互通互联,互相依存的观念,道家修身的方法能实现天人合一的平衡。这些(道家传统的)践行方式将为生态美学奠定根基。
