ECO–FEMINISM – A NEW IDENTITY OF WOMEN

Sažetak
Although “the women issue” has been founded as a political issue several decades ago, along with the development of “the new wave” feminism, or neo–feminism, that brought to changes in the approach within the whole series of social issues, only with the emergence of “the green movement” and forwarding of “green” issues as political “women issues” as well as environmental issues, have they assumed a new importance within eco–femininist alternative groups.
Eco–feminism encompasses different approaches, from liberal to eco–centric eco–feminism groups. In the course of numerous discussions between eco–feminist and feminist groups and their standpoints, there are also other intrinsic environmental groups and their standpoints, from which most prominent is the group representing deep ecology viewpoints, with which eco–feminist orientations are frequently in disagreement.
Regardless of, however, certain disagreement within certain eco–feminist groups and their approaches, some of which are even useless or derogatory for (eco)feminism, as well as of conflicts with the deep ecology, from the standpoint of social ecology it is important to take into account and take into consideration all these (eco)feminist standpoints, because they direct us to the situation where we should move behind faulty dualism of the opinion model that characterises West social and philosophic tradition, and towards which women are inferior to men, nature towards culture, emotions towards reason and body towards mind, under the condition that we want to achieve environmentally harmonious living, integrating nature with culture into an organic eco–cultural whole.
