Abstract: In many books such as The New Ecological Order, What is the Good Life and The Wisdom of Myths, the contemporary French scholar Luc Ferry analyzes the ecological thoughts of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Rene Descartes, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Michel Foucault and Martin Heidegger in detail. He also expresses his own further reflection on “Deep Ecology” and “Ecological Feminism”. His anxiety, inquiry and positive attitude to environmental issues are consistent with a lot of Doris Lessing’s works. This paper tries to draw on the perspective of Ferry’s ecological philosophy in interpretation of Doris Lessing’s novels. At the same time, Lessing’s discussion on the relationship between human beings and the nature conversely provides contemporary ecology the fresh material and reflecting path in her works. The paper synthesizes contemporary western ecological doctrine and literary text practice on the basis of close reading Ferry and Lessing’s common concern. It argues that more and more intellectuals among the western middle class such as Luc Ferry and Doris Lessing reflect “what is the good life” and search for a “crack bridge” of human beings and the nature in the bewildering splitting times. This is the more important motive force than harsh reality for the contemporary ecology development.
