This chapter aims to deepen Françoise d’Eaubonne’s idea of ecofeminism in order to reconstruct the origins of a thought that has played an increasingly important role in a wide range of disciplines. This chapterdiscusses the roots of the affinity between women and nature, the critique of anthropocentrism, androcentrism, and their underlying logic of domination, and the philosophical sources of this logic (e.g., Cartesian dualism and Baconian mechanism). Based on the main features of d’Eaubonne’s ecofeminism, the author elaborates a proposal of a non-dualistic anthropology, where feelings and reason might coexist in order to achieve human flourishing with nature.
