In Laudato Si, Pope Francis attributes global climate change to a destructive “technocratic paradigm” of thought and action. He then calls for a renewed educational program to resist the technocratic paradigm. This paper shows how reading C. S. Lewis’ Abolition of Man and Plato’s Republic alongside Laudato Si can help students better appreciate some of Francis’ central points. Abolition of Man illuminates the technocratic paradigm’s essential features: (1) a reduction of value-laden creation (which demands respect) to value-neutral “nature” (which does not) and (2) the development of techniques to transform nature—including human nature—according to the desires of the dominant class. The allegory of the cave and the tripartite account of the soul in Plato’s Republic help clarify the notion of “objective value” at play in Francis’ encyclical, and also give students tools to foster a critical perspective on consumerist culture.

教皇方济各在《圣训集》中将全球气候变化归咎于具有破坏性的 "技术官僚范式 "思想和行动。随后，他呼吁更新教育计划，抵制技术官僚范式。本文介绍了在阅读《圣训》的同时阅读 C. S. 刘易斯的《废止人类》和柏拉图的《共和国》如何帮助学生更好地理解方济各的一些核心观点。废人论》阐明了技术官僚范式的基本特征：(1) 将充满价值的创造（需要尊重）还原为价值中立的 "自然"（不需要尊重）；(2) 根据统治阶级的欲望开发改造自然（包括人类自然）的技术。洞穴寓言和柏拉图《共和国》中关于灵魂的三方论述有助于澄清方济各通谕中的 "客观价值 "概念，也为学生提供了培养批判性视角看待消费主义文化的工具。封面页脚注 本文的研究和写作部分得益于礼来研究员项目（Lilly Fellows Program）的津贴和圣路易斯大学艺术与科学学院（Saint Louis University College of Arts and Sciences）的梅隆暑期研究基金（Mellon summer research grant）。我非常感谢他们的支持，同时也感谢编辑和两位匿名审稿人对我的初稿提出了极有帮助的意见。这里的一些材料，尤其是第二部分的讨论，源自我的 "Waking Up：这里的一些材料，尤其是第二部分的讨论，源自我的 "Waking Up: Consumerism and Plato's Republic "的早期草稿，"Multifaceted Explorations of Consumer Culture and Its Impact on Individuals and Society"，ed.David Burns (Hersey, PA: IGI-Global, 2019), 239-55。感谢 IGI-Global 允许我使用任何重叠材料。在引用教皇方济各的《圣训集》时，首先引用段落号（所有版本通用），然后在斜线后引用以下在线版本的页码：https://theyear2015.wikispaces.com/file/detail/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si_en.pdf/ 554210024。本文可在 Solidarity：天主教社会思想与世俗伦理杂志》：https://researchonline.nd.edu.au/solidarity/vol8/iss2/5 抵制技术官僚范式：圣训集》、《人的废止》与柏拉图
