Feminist oppose male rule,advocate the female and male equality and promote female liberation and formed a set of rich theory system.Ecology advocates the harmony with human being and nature,and green development of politics and economics.On the surface,this two kinds of thinking trends can be divided into different field of thinking,and have individual independent theory forms and theoretical sue,but on the deep levels,it existed similar thinking basis and inner reasons,that is,opposed male's central culture and its binary thinking mode of essence behind him.Due to the kills and model which female and nature are under the colonial logistics,it makes them form a common fate,at the same time,it provides the premise of mutual learning and mutual support on the construction of two theories of feminist and ecology,which make the two kinds of trends possible,Therefore,ecological feminist emerges.With the deep discussion of ecological female theory,its theoretical weakness and inner logistic contradiction exposed,which mainly shows the overemphasis of the emotional pregnancy for female and nature to regard it as valuable body of more originality which makes it easy to fall into the mistakes in theory and result in the practical contradiction.The critical ecological feminist of the Australian scholar,Plumwood,is to make up with the weakness in the theory and attempt to clear up the Dualism remnants from feminist and ecological theory with more radical critical attitude so as to provide a kind of new theoretical value framework and methodological basis with ecological female.Firstly,Plumwood put the natural concept into the analysis of feminist.She thought that the traditional nature can be regarded as subjective consciousness and non-life,so it can be made use of and be conquered by human beings which,however is "reasoned superiority".Actually,it is the agreement for male's rights whatever we regard female as the natural representation or regard male as wildness and power or regard female as obedience and living.Therefore,we must be recognized the connection with human beings and nature that is same as inseparable relations of male and female to establish the emotion,respect and care and replace the Instrumentation and mechanization with the basis of love,and need to change the colonial relations with nature,male and female.Only equality and harmony can make nature and female liberate thoroughly.Secondly,the female concept analysis also can provide the experiences for the construction of ecological theory.On the colonial context of western Phallus center,natural wilderness can be referred that homogeneity not accidental lonely matters which also exists the similar theory difficulties in the field of sexuality.Therefore,as far as Plumwood concerned,the theoretical exploration of feminist also had valuable meanings from deepened origins.The female theoretical method and framework not only assists the clarification of sexual problems but also establish a rational ecological nature of attitude which can help us confirm.All previous efforts of human beings and whole civilization process not only means the civilization of natural wilderness to one dimension.Our human also should learn to overcome difficulties with nature and equal coexistence and achieve together all he beauty and brilliance on earth.Lastly,Plumwood thought combination feminist with ecologist and made it strong criticism and deep ethics.Plumwood pointed out that rationalism is fundamental tradition of western philosophy,which make the thinking of main western trends and inner basis of valuable cultural logistics.She named it "Dominate Identification",which she made radical criticism with and also put forward to make it possible to construct a new model of relationship,which not requires us to give up theory itself but reconstruct new rationality that surpass dualism.When the rationality gave the care and respect to others at the same time,it also will get human's respect and care,which is made on the basis of thorough democracy,cooperation and mutual ethnics with other creatures on the earth and cherish and take care of the all culture and life with other creature in the world.Specifically,that is moral concepts surrounding the relationship and love construction to replace justice morality with rights and rules constructions.Plumwood expand care ethics to natural ecological fields.Obviously,for Plumwood,it has important expectation for female care ethics to save the dead earth and reconstruct a healthy ecological ethics.
