ABSTRACT

As a global cultural theme, the theme of "man and nature" has been running through the entire history of Russian literature. But in the second half of the 20th century, the focus of contemporary Russian literature on the relationship between man and nature was no longer limited to the previous static "pastoral" writing, but clearly expressed the writer's profound ecological philosophy in response to the problem of modern industrial civilization of human-centrism. Looking at these works, we find that the influence of religious philosophy on the generation or influence of writers' ecological thoughts cannot be ignored. This article attempts to use the most representative works of Rasputin, Astafiev and Aitmatov as examples to explain that an overall artistic characteristic of contemporary Russian ecological literature is that it is inextricably linked to religious philosophy. Religion may have disciplinary or redemptive significance for "human-centrism" in the era of ecological crisis.
