Abstract: Ecological postmodernism becomes an important part in contemporary literary criticism. Originating from the reflection on the state of human existence in the post-industrial society, it criticizes the modern thinking pattern resulting in the maladies of age and advocates establishing the ecological holism, the real worldview and the community spirit. It tries to reconstruct an ecological society that is harmonious, democratic and full of mutual love and restores a mutual interconnectedness between humans themselves and between humans and the world. Ecological postmodernism not only constructs a new postmodernist ecological thinking system, enriches and develops the postmodern literary theory, but also is of great significance to realize the “common well-being” in the life community.

Key words: ecological postmodernism, literary criticism, ecological thinking, ecological society
