Abstract

This paper analyzes the Carolyn Merchant's ecofeminism perspective of nature. Merchant argues that there exists an artificially-constructed connection between nature and women. The root cause for which both nature and women are kept in subjection stems from the man-centered world outlook of “patriarchy”. The upside of the statement still lies in the fact that Merchant conducts the analysis from the internal of “people” as a class-grouping to determine the original source of ecological problems from mankind itself. She deems that, through the efforts of human beings, the oppressive structure of human-to-nature and human relationships would be lifted, and thus a new equality can be hopefully brought within measurable distance of its establishment.
