AB - After raising the need for a new reflection on the vision of the ecological world and happiness in the post-COVID era, this work aims to study ‘Ecotopia’ (which means ecological Utopia) through the analysis of the novel by Jean Giono, entitled The Song of the World. The ecotopic imagination implemented there is examined by linking it to the arguments of the notion of ‘Ohn-life’ (global life) proposed by Hwe Ik Zhang. Despite the difference between the novelist and the physicist, they share the Eastern worldview of man-nature continuity, overcoming post-Cartesian Western dichotomous thinking. We concentrate on analyzing the literary achievement of the work by Giono, which wonderfully deploys an Ecotopia with a vision of Ohn-life through the free imagination of literature, contrary to the rational rigor of science. Ultimately, restoring the ecosystem in which humans and nature are linked organically and reviving the value of true human happiness are intriguing future tasks common to all humanity conscious of 'I' within the Ohn-life and to humanities and natural sciences.
