Possibility and limits of the unity of nature and man in a modern accelerated society
The concept of the unity of nature and man has long represented the prevailing view of nature during the era of agricultural civilization and served as a fundamental principle for addressing the relationship between humans and the natural world.However,in the context of an accelerated society——characterized by rapid technological advancements,economic growth,and the increasing pace of life——this traditional concept,that is,the idea of harmonious coexistence between man and nature,faces new challenges and opportunities.This paper investigates the core ideas behind the unity of nature and man and assesses its potential relevance in addressing modern societal challenges.By combining literature review and analytical research,the study explores the natural rhythms and social foundations underlying this concept,the acceleration of modern society and the resulting"man-nature contradictions",and the negative consequences of these contradictions within accelerated societies,so as to promote the integration and development of the concept of the unity of nature and man in modern society.The findings suggest that while the concept of the unity of nature and man remains somewhat applicable in modern society,its practical implementation is hindered by the fast pace and intense competition of contemporary life.The study concludes that achieving this harmony will require comprehensive adjustments in policies,education,and social culture.Only through collective efforts from both society and individuals can the concept of the unity of nature and man become truly effective in modern times.
