Summary/Abstract: The key ecofeminist discursive preoccupation is with deconstruction of the western world’s dualism, whose derivatives bring forward the sources of the problem of human inequality and production of hierarchies. In this context ecofeminists present understanding of domination, and interpret the causes of ecological crisis through examination of power models and gendered hierarchies in contemporary soceties. In other words, the conceptual link is studied between the domination over women and domination over nature as the “original others.” Eecofeministic requests for integrating social and environmental debates on environmental issues are clarified by the view of impossibility of carrying out social change in relation to oppression by women without manifestation of environmental degradation, and environmental issues have become issues of social justice. Calling for respect of the pattern of the natural world which, by its very diversity, demonstrates the principle of sound and stable system, ecofeminists suggest creating a vision of a society in which the abolishmnet of the patriarchate and other forms of domination.
