摘要

當代人的生活改善、當前環境危機的疏解,都需要人們有所關注及投入,然而,要人們明白此中的道理是一回事,要人們採取行動則是另一回事。要之,改善生活是人自己的事,而疏解環境危機則是公眾的事,但不論是個人或公眾之事,要人們採取行動都需要有誘因。

本文試圖揭示想要改變外在世界,要從改變自己開始;想要改變自己,也就需要改變自己的生活。但是,要改變我們的生活需要感性的動力,這個動力又是如何啟動的呢?本文提供了一種「荒野啟動」誘因,也就是透過親近山林來啟動改變我們生活的動力。

親近山林為什麼能夠啟動改變人的生活的動力,並進而能夠改變外在世界?本文透過山林感性、適的美學、宇宙觀點和山林倫理,把蘊涵其中的道理講清楚,並揭示其中同時俱足的讓人歡樂之道。

Abstract

The improvement of contemporary life and the relief of the current environmental crisis require people's concern and engagement. However, it is one thing to understand this matter, but another thing to make people take action. To improve life is a matter of each individual, and to ease the environmental crisis is a matter of the public. But whether it is personal or public affairs, people need an incentive to take action.

This paper attempts to reveal that to change the external world, one needs to start with changing oneself, and to change oneself, it is necessary to change one's life. And to change one's life requires the motivative aeithesis. But how to start it? This paper provides a "wilderness trigger" incentive, which is to start our drive to change our lives by exposing ourselves to the woods.

Why exposing ourselves to the woods can be taken as the impetus to change our lives, as well as to change the external world? This paper will make clear my arguments from the perspectives of "aisthesis of woods," "fitness aesthetics," "the point of view of the universe," and "the ethics of woods." It will also reveal a way of hedonism.
