The main purpose of this thesis is to let people realize the importance of combining the ecology and politics through rational analysis about the serious current situation of ecocrisis. However, locating the ecological politics at the real world need the value judgment and theoretical direction form the ecological politics philosophy which locates at the value world.The traditional culture of China is extensive and profound, many philosophy thoughts of thinker at history can offer theoretical direction to construct and develop ecological politics. As far as I am concerned, within this numerous philosophy groups, Taoism can be rated as transcendent. It's unique and wonderful philosophy thoughts can offer extremely valuable theoretical directions. Laozi, founder of philosophy of Taoism considering "Tao models itself after its nature" as the logical start and "harmony between man and nature" as the ethical basis, constructed a harmonious society of ecological politics about "do nothing and melt by oneself","uniformity of things, growth and does not hurt" in theory; Zhuangzi, the another philosophy of Taoism, whose theory of "Tao unify as one thing" and "equality all things" reflects the equality of human beings and nature, which establishes the main status of the nature, emphasizes the unity of all things and describes a harmonious coexistence between human beings and the nature.This thesis attempts to explore the abundant ecological politic philosophy thoughts of Taoism, on the premise of referencing and comparing with the ecological political philosophy thoughts of the western, reconstruct the "view of ecological value" from the philosophy angle of "ontology","epistemology" and "methodology" which conducted by the ontology thoughts of "the unity of nature" about "everything and I are the same","everything is not high and low" and "everything is equal"; Establish the "view of ecological freedom" about "Tao unify as one thing" and "non-action in face of nature"; Establish the "view of ecological justice" about removing the greed and treating everything with fairness which relates to "who stops in time nothing can harm" and "be content with you have and are, and no one can despoil you"; On this basis, prospect the wonderful future world about ecological politics draw support from Taoist thoughts of ecological politics philosophy, it means place hope on the governments and citizens of more countries and regions to form global consciousness consciously under the guidance of thought of Taoist theory of "all things are the same"; Establish the "view of international ecological politics" which relates to Taoist "the net of heaven has large meshes, dredge without losing", use the "idea community" which to a certain extent has feasibility to replace the "fact community" which is very difficult to realize during a long term. It is hoped that people can realize the importance of protecting ecological environment at the bottom of their hearts through such efforts, thus solve the ecocrisis worsened day by day fundamentally and finally realize the hope of harmonious coexistence between human beings and the nature.
