Since the term “ecological feminism” was put forward,the view of women-natural-contacted become the core issues of the ecological feminism.Ecological feminist ideas of other theory were produced in this point of view.This view is,as it were,“fundamental”of ecological feminism.All theories,however, is not independent,always contact with other theoretical perspectives more or less.In order to better understand several concepts of the view about women-natural-contacted,such as, women、men、culture、natural,etc,we need the help of the basic theory of gender determinism and dualism.Understand physiological gender determinism,sexual theory,and social gender determinism,to help determine gender is indicated by physiological and social construction,is not only a kind of classification,but also as a class;Make clear the concept of dualism,the characteristic of dualism,and distinguish between the dualism and dichotomy,to help ecological feminism recognizes the root of the oppressed women and nature,and find a way to liberate women and nature.The understanding of ecological feminism’s “fundamental” is varied.The view of ecological feminist camp inside or outside doesn’t see eye to eye:Firstly,ecological feminism’s “fundamental” includes several aspects of the content.Various genres of ecological feminism to reach an agreement, in terms of emphasis on identifying female with nature、the link between oppression of women and oppression nature、indivisible ecological liberation and woman’s liberation and so on.But,they have differences in terms of these aspects.Such as, women contact with nature is the basis of what? This contact is mainly manifested in which level,physiological、spiritual、social or philosophical?How to deal with women and nature’s contact?The way to solve the problem of oppressive women and oppressive nature and so on.Various schools around how to deal with the focus problem the link between women and nature and from the perspective of different positions and respectively expounds their own views.secondly,The people outside ecological feminism camp also questioned the view of the link between women and nature.Such as,questioning ecological feminism’s “fundamental”paradox、questioning the ignorance of woman’s and the natural differences、questioning that if woman’s value and natural value were mentioned in the same breath、questioning that patriarchy only oppress women and nature、questioning a variety of views、questioning the research methods,and so on.In the face of the query of ecological feminism, internal and external, ecological feminism seems to have lost the “fundamental”.In order to prove the ecological feminism can keep a foothold,we have to make objective evaluation on the disagreement about inside and outside ecological feminism camp:sort out the developing venation of ecological feminism, dividing the development of ecological feminism into Early and late and evaluate respectively on this basis;In order to show the ecological feminism can keep a foothold,we must respond to the query outside the ecological feminism camp:about the emphasis on “difference”、about beyond “woman’s center doctrine”、about pay attention to diversified unification、About to explain “symbol, analogy, think”.In the end,raveling out the thinking of ecological feminism’s “fundamental”:the experiential connection of women and nature、the linguistic connection of women and nature、the conceptual connection of women and nature;Excavating the essence of ecological feminism’s “fundamental”:Patriarchy culture caused the alienation of women and nature、The link between women and nature is the result of internal cause and external cause.The essence of the link between women and nature is a kind of strategy;Be sure the meaning of ecological feminism’s “fundamental”:Paying attention to the gender perspective of ecological protection、 Stimulating the male consciousness of ecological protection、Realizing social gender justice.These are equally important to prove the possibility of ecological feminism’s basic.In a word,as a new theory ecological feminism has the very big development space.It creatively introducing gender dimension to the criticism of the relationship between man and nature,for human being to solve ecological crisis and gender issues provides new perspectives and approaches.The debate of its“fundamental”is continuing,but it won’t affect it’s momentum,it will be play a bigger role on gender and environmental protection “battlefield”, and flashing a dazzling light.
