In this sense, Wordsworth improved the development of ecology. This argument will be supported by the approach of eco-criticism and Heidegger's eco-philosophy. And it is supported by the following points.The first part points out that Wordsworth's love of nature led to his love of man, which was reflected by his care for common people. Part Two shows Wordsworth's solicitude for dwelling. His notion of dwelling had aspect of poetic dwelling. The harmonious human-nature relationship reveals thee essence of free dwelling. His poetic experiment agreed with Heidegger's argument on poetic creation. His discussion of free labour was like Heidegger's interpretation of"merit". Part Three tells about Wordsworth's great effort to amend the alienated human nature by treasuring the Child's nature, imagination and human feelings.In this way,the conclusion can be got: although it would be a huge project to reinterpret Wordsworth with the approaches of eco-criticism and Heidegger's eco-philosophy, it is still worth making the effort.展开更多

It points out that Carson and Jiang's eco-ethics are relatively complete, ideal and objective. Moreover, the most shining features are that they not only unfold the grim fact of ecological crisis before the public, but also instil confidence and hope in each and every reader.展开更多

As a result, fraught with his affection towards his origins and aiming to register his modernist sensibilities, he widely scattered various animals throughout his fiction and essays. However, more scholarly attention should be paid to the theoretical interpretations of these nonhuman historical and affective agencies and they deserve to be regarded as unique references to the social and political representations of the Republican era. This paper analyzes how Lu Xun represents animal images and discusses the relationship between animality and humanity in his writings. Employing eco-criticism and Foucauldian bio-politics, I argue that the animalistic reading of ＂A Madman＇s Diary＂ contrasts with the conventional cannibalistic reading and marks a revolutionary beginning to Lu Xun＇s concern towards animality and humanity. Later echoing with the social Darwinism popular at the time, Lu Xun invests more nuanced affects in three different categories of animals through which he contemplates domestication, vulnerability, and self-definition. Finally, I argue that by inventing a discourse of animality and humanity, Lu Xun casts his pioneering gaze on Chinese morality, modern subjectivity, and the natural environment.展开更多
