description Ecological crisis is a serious obstacle to human survival and development in the future, and solving the problem of ecological crisis requires starting from the construction of new social systems and the development of subjective thinking. Based on William Rice’s theory and ecological ideas, this study analyzes William Rice’s inheritance of Marxist ecological socialism and his strong criticism of science and technology under the domination of the concept of “controlling nature” and capitalist alienated consumption behavior. On the basis of William Rice’s theory, the ethical and moral construction, scientific rationality construction and economic system construction of the concept of “liberating nature” were analyzed. The concept of “liberating nature”, proposed by William Rice, not only provides a correct development path for living harmony with nature in the future, but also provides valuable reference significance for China’s ecological civilization construction.
