The main purpose of this article is to analyze A. Solzhenitsyn's novel Matryona's House through the viewpoint of ecology and to understand his perception of nature, on which he gives warning to our 'mechanical' and 'lifeless' outlook. The ecological ethics starts from the abolition of dualistic Weltanschuung and of anthropocentrism. Solzhenitsyn comes up with the idea through the life of Matryona, who lives in harmony with all things in nature.Matryona never regards herself superior to the other creatures in nature. It is natural to destroy the life of the world when a man forgets that he himself is a part of nature as well as when he clings to man's superiority to nature. Solzhenitsyn considers that we should be free from the notion of 'man against nature', and have the notion of 'man in nature'. He reveals such an idea as the concept of ecological ethics by the difference between the life of Matryona and that of Fadey.When Fadey lives according to the law of animal instinct, Matryona symbolizes the philosophy of vegetation. Furthermore, when Fadey lives in the world of possession, which is represented by the perception of activism and lust, Matryona in the world of coexistence and harmony. Likewise, Solzhenitsyn places Matryona and vegetation in the same category, and sheds light on the life of Matryona by the law of existence of vegetation. It is related with the author's consideration to overcome our covetous situation of today.
