摘要
约翰·罗斯金的许多作品都涉及生态问题,这都可以视为他对19世纪文化批评语境的介入。他的生态关怀根植于他对文化的总体思考,而他的文化观的内涵之一是"现代性焦虑",即由农业文明向工业文明的迅速转型而引起的焦虑。跟卡莱尔和阿诺德一样,罗斯金将矛头直指机械式进步中的"反文化"现象,指出工业革命不仅威胁自然环境,而且破环劳动环境。在罗斯金对环境的"焦虑"背后,是他对人、社会和大自然三者和谐共存的憧憬与向往。
Many of John Ruskin？ s works have touched upon ecological issues. These works can be looked upon as his participation in the context of the 19th century cultural criticism. Ruskin＇ s ecological concern is rooted in his overall thinking on Culture, which implies a ＂modem anxiety＂ over the rapid transition from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization that the 19th century Britain witnessed. Like Thomas Carlyle and Matthew Arnold, Ruskin directed the spearhead of his criticism at the ＂anti-cultural＂ phenomenon of the mechanical progress driven by the Industrial Revolution, which posed a great threat to not only the natural environment, but also the labour environment. Behind Ruskin＇ s anxiety is his aspiration for the integrity and harmony of human relationships to society and Nature as a whole.
