Abstract

As a form of civilization, agriculture plays an important role in the development of human civilization. Modern agriculture made marvelous progress and enormously changed the human history and existing circumstances, but at a cost of tremendous ecological, environmental and resource utilization crisis. Modern agriculture is entering into a dilemma and is beset with crises. As a big agricultural country, the rise and decline of agriculture in China determines the development of society harmoniously and full of vitality. Chinese government has attempted to benefit farmers, promote agricultural reports and policies. The CPC 17th National Congress proposed “Agricultural Modernization with Chinese Characteristics”; the third Plenum (Plenary Session) of the 17th Communist Party of China Central Committee concerned about the issues of agriculture, farmer and rural area, and the construction of agricultural productive system which is resource-saving and environment-friendly; “No. 1 Document” of Chinese government has been focusing on the issues of agriculture, farmer and rural area for 6 years. The idea of Ecological Civilization conveys agricultural ecological consciousness and ecological wisdom of Chinese nation. However, there are some severe Chinese characteristics and what kind of develop style shall we adopt? I consider that the idea of “harmony”, “ecology” and “creativity” which are immanent in the Whiteheadian’s constructive postmodernism shares a similarity of Chinese civilization and philosophical tradition. And both whitehead and Marx concerned about the fate of human beings and common good. Therefore, constructive postmodernist view on agriculture may provide a new perspective and approach for the development of Chinese agriculture characteristics focusing on a coordinated development of dynamic mechanism and balance mechanism, which is full of vitality, harmoniously and sustainability. The whole paper deals with 3 issues: the global agriculture crises and the circumstances of Chinese agriculture; the constructive postmodernist view on agriculture; postmodern agriculture with Chinese characteristics insists a mode of development in which harmony and vitality exists simultaneously.

农 业作为一种文明在人类文明演进中扮演着重要角色. 现代农业取得了重大成就, 极 大地改变了人类生存境遇, 但人类却为此付出了掺痛的生态, 环 境及资源代价, 现代农业遭遇困境, 危 机四伏. 中国是一个农业大国, 农 业的兴衰关系着社会和谐稳定, 充满活力地发展. 无 论是党的十七大提出的 走 中国特色的农业现化道路”, 十七届三中全会 三 农问题的关注, 建 设资源节约型,环 境友好型农业生产体系, 还是连续6年 来聚焦三农问题的 “1号 文件”, 中国政府的惠农强农, 激 活农业发展活力, 实现农业可特续发展的努力可见一斑. 十 七大生态文明理念的提出, 尤其表明了中华民族所具有的农业生态智慧. 但 中国农业应采取何种发展道路和发展模式, 如何真正走中国特色农业现代化道路仍是摆在我们面前严峻的问题. 笔者认为怀特还式的建设性后现代主义其内在深层的 和 谐”, “生态 创 造力的思想与中国文明和哲学传统有天然的接近, 怀 特海与马克思都有着人类命运及富的共同关切, 因而建设性后现代主义的农业观或许能为中国农业的发展提供新的思路与视角, 从而使中国找到具有中国特色的一动力机制与平衡机制协调即充满活力, 和谐特续的 后 现代农业发展之路.
