摘要：Key words: consilience, ecology, re-enchantment, niches, Weber, Darwinism Rather than seeking to expose anthropocentrism, insisting on mutually reinforcing parallels between the discrimination of nature and mechanisms of gender, race and class, or pursuing a goal of anti-Enlightenment re-enchantment, ecocritics must engage in a programme of bridge-building between literary criticism and the empirically grounded sciences. Contextualisation of works in terms of environmental history, and a philosophy of biology critically examining its key concepts are currently among the most promising construction programmes of this kind. The time has come for ecocriticism to cease to be a romantic discourse of value or a priestly pursuit, and become a principled, professional, empirico-philosophical critique.
