(More) Abstract: Ecological crises are the general crisis of the modern civilization and political disasters since the 20th century are also unprecedented. The relationship between politics and ecology is a vital problem that human beings have been always probing from ancient times. This text，starting from ecology ecological philosophy and ecological ethics and comprehensively applying the achievements of ethology, sociobiology modern physics and political philosophy studies historically and systematically the relationship between human politics and natural ecology} and tries to construct an ecological politics or an ecologicalism of political philosophy. The general train of thought is as follows: Modern sciences and philosophies tell us that human beings are the part of nature and nature is a becoming，evoluting and fluxing life-body. Human beings permanently belongs to natural history，and human conscious rationality and liberty are only the outgrowth of evolution of nature .Hence human beings can not be antagonistic to nature or override nature otherwise it forms autocracy of human beings on nature .On the contrary human beings should realize the republicanism by means of rationality and liberty as autonomy. The relationship between human beings and nature is the basis of the one among human beings. And to reform the human beings’ relationship is the key to improve the one between human beings and nature. Traditional political ecology is characterized by its anthropocentrism and mechanical view of nature，so they can not find a solider foundation beyond human society for the theory of liberal democracy. Instead，they are the important cause of antagonism between human-kind and nature and in the human societies. They are the theoretical basis of autocracy of human一kind upon nature and of autocracy of the human society. Ecology and ecological philosophy brought to light that natural ecological system (with human society included) is a peaceful world whose principles are pluralism，coexistence reciprocal restriction，equilibrium competition and cooperation } and freedom to the full and necessary order .Therefore, to carry out the natural constitution consisted of those principles is the way to overcome ecological crises and to refrain from political disasters of autocracy and totalitarianism.
