The Debate on the the "Great" and "Apocalyptic" Aspects of the Anthropocene:Differences,Essence and Responses
As a social framework that emerged during the rational Enlightenment and the process of mod-ernization,Western modernity emphasises individual subjectivity,technological rationality,the logic of capital and the grand narrative of social history.However,Western modernity inherently contains tensions between hu-mans and humans,as well as humans and nature.The Anthropocene is a logical extension and polarized state of Western modernity.In light of this,ecological modernism and ecological apocalypticism have sparked ongo-ing controversy regarding the origins,trajectory,and the solution to the crisis within the Anthropocene dilem-ma of Western modernity.However,both sides have failed to uncover the original sin of Western modernity be-hind the predicament,and their respective solutions have not been able to escape the constraints of Western modernity.Therefore,Chinese-style modernity,based on reflection and transcendence of the"myth of West-ern modernity",proposes a Chinese solution for global ecological crisis governance.This allows humanity to envision a new world panorama that is reflective,constructive,open and global.
