Abstract

The most basic characteristic of ecological aesthetics is that it is a conception of aesthetics that envelops the ecological dimension, and is thus distinct from a form of aesthetics characterized by “anthropocentrism.” The “ecological dimension” here is distinct from “ecocentrism”; it is a new ecological humanism of “the ecological whole” that fuses human being and Nature into one; it is the philosophy and aesthetics of ecological ontology. This eco-ontological conception of aesthetics is the most basic category of ecological aesthetics, which differentiates ecological ontology from both the traditional conception of aesthetics guided by “anthropocentrism” and the Darwinian conception of aesthetics indicated by “ecocentrism.” Lastly, it is both connected to and yet distinct from contemporary environmental aesthetics.
