Abstract
The primary goal of this study aims at understanding Virginia Woolf from the phenomenological point of view in order to understand the way of communication and mutual difference between humans and inhuman nature among Woolf's works unlike the existing human-centered criticisms. First of all, I look at the nature of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology in order to discuss ecology and its meaning through Woolf's works. I also try to identify how the human emotional involvement in nature plays an important role in the formation of a plot, and how it is occurring. In addition, it is shown that the gap between human and nature can be overcome while emphasizing the existence of an integrated unity in the universe. Among the works of Woolf, works that can provide the material of ecological phenomenology critically by combining the natural environment including the animals and the human conscious world appropriately, are an essay “Kew Gardens” in The Common Reader and a short novel Flush. First of all, it is necessary to examine how the natural environment is combined with humans to pursue the value of nature. In “Kew Gardens”, there are a description of mutable voice interchange between humans and flowers, and even some consciousness of a snail treated as human life. In Flush, it is also depicted that the sense of smell of a dog surpasses human sensory abilities. Woolf portrays the communication between human and inhuman animals or nature as if it were showing a kind of real communication among people. In the end, she is re-illuminating the values ​​of both characteristics of animals and natural environment elements that have not been treated as the core in anthropocentric society.
