“共生”是 2 0世纪 70年代以来在日本理论界、随后在社会上产生广泛影响的思潮。它提出了不同于日本传统道德的新观念 ,主张人与自然、人与人、人与社会的共同关照 ,协调发展。这一思潮力图突破以“和”、“集团主义”等为特点的传统道德的局限 ,以适应新的国际化形势 ,并解决日本社会新出现的问题。共生伦理在医疗、环保、国民福利、女性解放、残疾人利益等多方面取得了进展。 Symbiosis was a trend of thought that has had a wide-ranging impact on society in Japan since the 1970s. It proposed a new concept different from that of Japan’s traditional morality and advocated the common consideration and coordinated development of man and nature, man and man, man and society. This ideological trend seeks to break through the limitations of traditional morals characterized by “harmony” and “corporatism,” so as to adapt to the new international situation and solve emerging problems in Japanese society. Symbiotic ethics have made progress in medical treatment, environmental protection, national welfare, women’s liberation, and the interests of persons with disabilities.
