As an outstanding female science fiction writer in the United States,the Science fictions of Ursula K.Le Guin are well-known in the literary world for the fantastic imagination and profound philosophy.Although the different worlds described by Le Guin may seem newfangled,but they are inextricably linked with the real world.In fact,Le Guin’s works only use science fiction as the carrier,What he really wants to express is the thinking about social reality and the concern about the destiny of human.Therefore,Le Guin’s works are always full of strong ecological awareness and profound humanistic feelings.The article selects three works,The Left Hand of Darkness,The Words of the World Are Forest and Talking,and try to discuss the ecological humanistic in the these works.The article is divided into three parts:The first chapter focuses on the analysis of the survival dilemma of different people in the work,and discusses from “the invasion of colonization”,“the loss of culture” and “the disillusionment of ideals”,trying to expose the influence of extreme tendencies such as anthropocentrism,rationalism and scientism in Western traditional humanism on human beings.The second chapter focuses on nature.The author makes the confused and painful human return to nature,so as to awaken people’s ecological consciousness and rescue people from the confinement of traditional humanism.The third chapter mainly analyzes the construction of ecological society in Le Guin’s work.Le Guin often uses her works as an experimental ground to create with an attitude of thought experiment.This chapter analyzes the setting of the tragic ending of the main characters in the work,explores the hidden reality and worries behind it,and seeks the possibility and the way of the construction of an ecological society in Le Guin’s experimental writing.The conclusion shows the commonality between Le Guin’s creation and the spirit of ecological aesthetics.Le Guin cleverly participates in the construction of social space with literary imagination,prompting people to examine and reflect on the real world from a new perspective.At the same time,she also express her worries and misgivings in her works.And then she still give readers unlimited space to imagine the future of mankind with an unspoken ending,.
