    • Abstract
  • Since the term ''Environmental Humanities'' was officially unveiled in 2012, it has caused great impact in Western scholarship and is regarded as a solution for the western traditional humanities to tackle environmental crisis. Environmental Humanities, which incorporate the new currents of thought of "posthumanism" and "new materialism", first oppose the exceptionality of human beings, dismantle the dualistic opposition between human and non-human, and believe that human beings, like all other beings, are part of the world; Secondly, subjectivity is not unique to human beings, and non-human beings also have the subjective function of action. On this basis, a real environmental ethics can be eventually constructed in which human beings and nature are equal.
