Abstract:Carolyn Merchant argues thatthe image of the goddess ofnature constructed inancient times has experienced disenchantment,fallanddeath since modern times,butthatthe protectionof nature canbeachievedwithout returning to theworshipof natureand forcibly linking women to it,asadvocated byecofeminists.New science such as chaostheory has revealedthecharacteristicsofrandomness,disorderandcomplexityofnature,whichhas fullydemonstrated that nature is anautonomous and self-organizing actor.Therefore,humanbeings should regard natureas an equal partner and co-. evolve with it.This reconstruction of the image of nature will deepen our reflection on a more appropriate mode of human-nature coexistence. However,how nature becomes the subject,what it means for nature to engage in dialogue or negotiation with human subjects,etc.,need to be further considered.Otherwise,it maybe the sameas the utopian fantasyofreturning to the worshipof nature goddesscriticized byCarolyn Merchant,and the vision of man and nature as equal partners may risk becomingan atractive but ultimately impracticable illusion.
