Deep ecology is an important branch of Western modern ecological philosophy.In the face of the predicament of the early environmental protection actions,the Norwegian philosopher Alan Naess founded the deep ecology to use the "deep questioning" approach to explore in essence.A solution to the ecological crisis.Naess believes that the failure of environmental protection actions is because people’s understanding of nature is fundamentally wrong.They should re-examine the relationship between man and nature.People and other beings in nature should be equal,and they are all part of nature.The realization of value is embodied in becoming an "ecological self" that blends with nature.Naess’ s ecological thought is the theoretical cornerstone of deep ecology.It analyzes the background and development process of its thoughts and deep ecology,and has a comprehensive understanding of deep ecology.Deep ecology began to be published in the book "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson,and Naess officially proposed the concept of "deep ecology",which finally became a theory of widespread concern under the impetus of Sehins and others.After a more comprehensive understanding of deep ecology,the paper began to explore the source of deep ecology and prepare for the analysis of the theoretical system of deep ecology.Naess’ s deep ecological thought is most influenced by Spinoza’s philosophical thoughts and humanistic psychology.The two important highest principles of ecological philosophy have the epitome of these two ideas.Important influences on the deep ecological thoughts of Naess are the ecological wisdom of the East Buddhism and the Taoist thought,the modern ecological theory,and the non-anthropocentrism in Christian philosophy.The theoretical system of deep ecology is based on Naess’ s "ecological wisdom T" theory.The theoretical premise is self-realization norms and ecocentrism.On this basis,the action plan of deep ecology is promoted.The normative conclusions are inferred from the action plan,and the criteria for guiding specific behavior are finally derived.After combing the theoretical system,based on the deep ecological perspective,grasp the three practical calls proposed by Naess.After establishing a relatively complete understanding of the entire ideology of deep ecology,summarize the impact of deep ecology in the world: mainly including deep ecological movements and green politics,and reflect on the criticism of deep ecological thoughts.Through the reflection of these environmental movements and theoretical criticism,it is concluded that deep ecology provides reference for China’s ecological civilization construction and provides enlightenment for us to protect the ecological environment.
