Abstract

In order to deal with the current problems of environmental research approaches such as isolation and neglect of interior dimensions, Esbjörn-Hargens and Zimmerman have jointly proposed an integral ecology which is different from the mainstream ecology, environmentalism or other theories of integral ecology. With the help of Ken Wilber's integral theory, it provides a who×how×what framework and a platform to tackle environmental problems with a three-dimensional combination of ontology, epistemology and methodology. The theory continuously explores on organization establishment and practice cases, and has a great influence on Britain and America and other countries. Its characteristics lie in paying attention to the interior dimension of environmental problems, cultivating integral ecological awareness and providing dynamic thought map for comprehensive environmental exploration. It is helpful to promote the exploration of the interior dimension and the comprehensive treatment of environmental problems.
