Abstract: Business ecosystem is an economic complex that is based on interaction of organizations and individuals. This concept, first of all, was proposed by western scholars, who conducted relatively abundant studies on it. On the other hand, discussion of Chinese scholars on business ecosystem is still kept in the preliminary stage of “bringism”. However, in the eastern philosophy, there are abundant discussions on the “zoology”. This paper rethinks business ecosystem from the perspective of eastern and western inter-explanation for ecological philosophy, thinks that eastern and western ecological philosophy has similarities (mutualism, alternation and regeneration) in entire characteristics of the system. On the other hand, status, behaviors and ways of cooperative thinking have differences. Exploring business ecosystem beginning with eastern and western origin of ecological philosophy again is a system theory of enriching business economic ecosystem, is an effective approach to reinforce indigenous research of business ecosystem, and also has a nigh enlightenments on practical activities for business ecosystem.
