摘要

全球性的環境及生態問題以「全球變遷」之名向「我們共同的未來」挑戰，正如Lester Brown所言：我們已進入「環境革命」的階段。為此，世人必須以「變遷全球」的革命心情來對應「全球變遷」。本文以此為背景來從事「典範轉型」的論述，包括古典及現代之各種環境典範，並以文化基調的各種自然觀及生活方式，作為「典範轉型」的深層結構，最後並以「典範超越」作為代結論，以避免「嘗試與錯誤」所造成對環境的傷害。

World-wide ecological and environmental crisis, under the name of ”global change”, have became a life and death problem. Various measures ranging from technological, economic and social aspects are proposed to tackle the problems threatening to ”our common future.” Revolutionary ways of thinking and action, namely, environmental revolution proposed by Lester Brown, are needed to integrate each of these aspects. That is to say, quiet and peaceful revolution through paradigm shift is responsible for ”changing globe” in challenging ”global change.”
This essay presents discourses of paradigm shift in both classic and modern versions. Adopting a ”paired concepts”, paradigms are shifted from pro-growth to pro-environment based on different cultural themes. Two axes of cultural theme, ways of life and ways of thinking, are discussed in promoting positive paradigm shift. In the conclusion, paradigm transaction is addressed to replace and upgrade paradigm shift without at the expense of ”trail and error.”
