Abstract：The historical evolution from industrial civilization to ecological civilization is not only the transformation of specific forms of politics and economies, but also requires the change of ethics as the enlightenment of ideas and culture. The emergence and development of ecological ethics is to assume the historical mission of this transformation of civilization and play the role of enlightenment and cultural leadership. The current research on ecological ethics often falls into the dilemma of natural centralism and anthropocentrism. An important reason is that it does not face the modern moral values and has not really touched the core issue of “modernity” morality. It is precisely the ideological logic of the “modernity” morality that splits the ecological ethics thought which originally had the overall organic meaning into diametrically opposed natural centralism and anthropocentrism, and loses the realistic demand of the moral rationality and moral practice to protect the nature. At the turning point of civilization, the ecological ethics research requires a utopian perspective. We should, under the guidance of ecological utopian thinking, get out of the ideological trap of “modernity” morality, move towards the ecological ethics of transcendence and integration, and to a certain degree, give full play to the enlightenment value, ideological motivation and practical power of ecological civilization.
