生態是一個更大更包容的整全式概念，它蘊含了包括社會在內的自然機體與組織形態。因此，人類的生活方式、生產方式必須符合生態的本質要求，人類的社會物質生活條件必須以生態健全為整體標準，人類的勞動對象與生產資料也必須以生態系統的需要為準則。生態與社會的相吻合，離不開自然這個系統與仲介。自然是由位於時空中的物質客體所組成。而人在其中的連結，將體現出人在社會中、人更在自然中以及社會亦在生態中的基本格局。為了更好地建構未來的生態文明，弱的非人類中心論是達到生態和諧社會的理想趨向。而我們目前的社會狀態正處於從強的人類中心論向弱的人類中心論轉化的階段，弱的人類中心論是我們構建社會和諧可以依靠的倫理主張。社會和諧與生態和諧相互影響、相互作用、相輔相成。社會和諧是生態和諧的良好前提，生態和諧是社會和諧的基本條件。生態和諧也正可謂是人類所給予自然的終極關懷。只要人類一息尚存，這種關懷就滲透了一種敬畏自然的價值、實踐與思維。生態和諧則是一種多元界面上更大的和諧。生態和諧講究的是人、社會與自然的和諧。生態和諧社會著重強調和諧社會的生態屬性與蘊含，是建立在生態和諧基礎上的社會，它不僅追求的是自然生態的和諧，而且也是注重社會生態的和諧。

Ecology is a larger and more inclusive of the whole concept, it contains the natural body and the histology of the society. Therefore, the human way of life, mode of production must meet the essential requirements of ecological, social and material life of the human conditions must be based on ecologically perfect, subject of labor and production data of human must take the ecosystem needs as the criterion. Without the nature of system and medium, ecological and social cannot coincide. Nature is composed of material objects in space. But the link, will be reflected in the society, people are more in nature and society also in the basic pattern of the ecology. In order to construct ecological civilization in the future, weak non-homocentric theory is an ideal trend to Ecological harmony. But our society is now in the stage of strong human centralism transform to weak anthropocentrism. Weak anthropocentrism that we can rely on as ethical proposition to build a harmonious society. Social harmony and ecological interaction and complementary each other. Social harmony is the premise of good ecological harmony, and ecological harmony is the basic condition of social harmony. Ecological harmony is also the ultimate concern of mankind to nature. As long as human beings alive, this concern is permeated by a fear of value, practice and thinking to nature. Ecological harmony is a kind of multi interface greater harmony. Ecological harmony is about human, social and natural harmony. Ecological harmonious society emphasizes the zoology attributes and implication of harmonious society, which is built on the basis of ecological and harmonious society. It is not only pursuit the natural ecological harmony, but also pay attention to social ecological harmony.
