DAOIST NOTION OF THE “INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF MAN AND NATURE” IN THE LITERATURE OF SHEN CONGWEN – THE CASE OF “ECOSOPHY WH”

Summary/Abstract: The works of Shen Congwen are a very good example of interconnectedness between man and nature and the importance adhering to the notion of place when talking about the ecological self in Arne Næss’s ecosophy where he emphasizes that the man is created by the orders given by the nature. The aim of this article is to explore the notion of Ecosophy WH and the meaning of the ecological self in the works of Shen Congwen. The article will consider three different perspectives – self-realisation, place-person and qualities of the place-person.
