Abstract
Ecological feminism is an important aspect of environmentalism and is making important contributions to environmental ethics. It is also of particular interest to phenomenologist for several reasons. Ecofeminists use methods very similar to those of phenomenological analysis. Also the emphasis on contextual and pluralistic ethics calls for attention to the voices of many different types of people who had been ignored. This gives phenomenologists opportunity to look at many types of lived worlds; this can add intersubjective richness to our “returning to the matters themselves.”
