The Philosophy Implication of Life Community and Its Environmental Governance Innovation
There is a great gap and tension between the traditional environmental governance system based on individual-ism and the essential requirements of environmental governance,which are holistic,systematic and collaborative,and it faces multiple dilemmas in governance practice.The concept of the life community between human and nature establishes a new posi-tioning of the relationship between human and nature,and forms a new cognitive framework and solution for environmental governance.It is an organic unity of concept,goal and methodology,and thus has governance philosophy.The shift from indi-vidualism to life community in environmental governance has brought governance innovation in subject,thinking,means and system.Specifically,the governance subject has shifted from individual subject to governance community,the governance thinking has shifted from one-way governance of human to nature to two-way construction,the governance means have shifted from individual concern to relationship and community,and the governance system has shifted from subjective norms to struc-tural connection.
