生态与经济发展的鸿沟

文章主要从词语来源与含义、研究对象的组织层次等方面系统地对比和阐述了生态学和经济学的接近或相似。生态学和经济学的学科性质和环境问题的日益严重决定了二者之间交叉学科的出现;经济学借鉴生态学,二者逐步走向融合。但由于＂生态＂是保守的,而＂经济＂是积极主动的,所以在经济与生态发展之间仍存在＂鸿沟＂。怎样处理和解决二者之间的矛盾,跨越＂鸿沟＂是摆在国内外学者们面前的一个重大课题。笔者认为,解决的途径仍应该是学科间的交融,这为科学研究提供了新的探索空间。

A Great Gap between the Development of Ecology and Economy

The similarity of ecology and economics is compared and set forth roundly from the aspects such as the origin and the meanings of the two words and the organization level of research objects. Subject nature of ecology and economics and increasing severity of environmental problems lead to the emergence of cross-subjects between them; ecology is used for reference by economics, at the same time, the two are inosculating gradually. Ecology is conservative, however, economics is active, and so there is also ＂a great gap＂ between the development of ecology and economy. It is an important question for discussion to scholars that how to deal with and solve the contradiction and span the ＂gap＂ between them. The approach of solving the question also should be the intersection and inosculation between the two subjects, which provide a new space for scientific research.
