Features: This book, through a historical examination of the decline of ancient civilizations and an in-depth exploration of modern ecological crises, reveals the defects of modern society in its "ideological model" of ecological practice and theory, and offers a cultural philosophical critique of such defects. Based on a systematic review of traditional Chinese ecological wisdom, it points out the natural and cultural ecological crises humanity now faces, proposing that the solution lies not in pursuing sophisticated and grand ecological theories, but in reconstructing a modern ecological cultural system within the "relationship between humans and nature." Set against the backdrop of China's western development, the book permeates a profound sense of concern from beginning to end, prompting contemporary readers to reconsider the current humanistic environment.
