Abstract
This article aims to discuss about Merleau-Ponty's notion of nature and to unveil the ecological implications. The Merleau-Pontian ecological thought may be taken as one of the representatives of eco-phenomenology-one of the most inspiring schools amongst the newly emerging green intellectual movement. The discussion of Merleau-Ponty's notion of nature is undertaken in the light of three notions: bodysubject, flesh, and art. Merleau-Ponty's notion of nature is useful for developing ecology-friendly ideas including 1) overcoming the traditional dualism of the human/nature relationship, 2) developing appreciation of biodiversity, and 3) cultivating a human belongingness to nature.
