A Study On The Ecological Feminism Of Merchant

Ecological feminism is the result of the combination of feminist movement and environmental protection movement.It is a new theoretical form of ecological ethics.As the main representative of the third wave of feminism,Carolyn Merchant not only has in-depth research on feminism,but also has made great achievements in environmental protection theory.Her research on her thoughts is a beneficial attempt to solve the ecological crisis and realize the way of coexistence and common prosperity between man and nature from different perspectives and perspectives."Carolyn Merchant ecological feminism thought research" in widely collect,sort out,on the basis of domestic and foreign research present situation,from the formation of Carolyn Merchant’s ecological and feminist thought,introduces the thought form of social historical background and personal academic background,mining,and combed the Carolyn Merchant,the main content of ecological feminist thoughts and do the analysis and evaluation,on the basis of exposition of Carolyn Merchant the era significance of ecological feminism.The thesis is divided into four parts: background introduction,main ideas,analysis and evaluation,and contemporary significance.The first chapter of the thesis,by understanding Carolyn Merchant’s social and historical background and personal growth experience,makes a necessary foundation for grasping her ideological connotation on the whole.The main content of Carolyn Merchant’s Ecological feminism is reflected in the second,third and fourth chapters.It demonstrates the positive role of women in social production and population growth by proposing the relationship between women and nature.In the scientific and technological revolution,it opposes the "dualism" and puts forward the conclusion that the death of nature is the death of mankind.In the theoretical system of "ecological revolution" and its model structure,a new narrative mode of environmental history,"gender dialectics",is proposed.Through in-depth analysis and research of previous scholars’ ecological structure model,gender element is added to the ecological structure model to construct the "four-level analysis model",and the demonstration is carried out in concrete practice.Through the "four-level analysis mode" of ecological revolution,this paper analyzes the dialecticalrelationship between human and nature as well as gender interdependence and mutual influence,integrates human consciousness and moral ethics into the relationship between human production,reproduction and ecology,and puts forward the corresponding solution,namely "cooperative relationship ethics".The analysis of Carolyn Merchant’s Ecological feminism thought is embodied in the fifth chapter.From a theoretical point of view,Carolyn Merchant’s Ecological feminism has a theoretical contribution that cannot be ignored.She starts from the overall interests and establishes the idea of women and ecology win-win.The defects of Carolyn Merchant’s Ecological feminism are that she takes women and nature and other vulnerable groups as the starting point,and her vision is one-sided.The extreme development concept also ignores the diversity and difference between things,and the development model is too idealized with weak operability.In addition,it should be noted that Carolyn Merchant’s Ecological feminism has produced a positive social impact,which not only promoted the improvement of human ecological awareness and aroused women enthusiasm for environmental protection,but also promoted the ideological construction of ecological civilization in a certain sense.
