This article makes an attempt to prove that the source of ecological crisis isbased on the notion of nature control in human mind through using “the domination ofnature” written by William leiss.This notion is the source of autonomy loss which thehuman were catabolized twice by the other. One is by religion before theEnlightenment; the other is by science and technology from enlightenment until now.And the idea of “nature control” is related with the idea of “people control”, which ledto the inequality between people and people.Based on the above theory, this paper argues that ecological problems and inequality problems are rooted in the loss of human autonomy, so they are heterogeneous isomorphism and the value of the ecological ideas consist in the stripping of nature control in human mind which is the aesthetic value in ecological thoughts, and the aestheticvalue of ecological ideas advocates an aesthetic conception which objective is settingup the independent and eliminating the alienation, it also contains an ideal ecologicalpoetic justice of human and nature.
