生态美学的理论基础——以身-心关系论

On the Theoretical Basis of Ecological Aesthetics

生态美学的学科史可上溯到自然美,其生态中心主义观、突破二元论以及认为现象即为美的思想可从杜威和梅洛-庞蒂那里找到理论根据。杜威的自然经验主义以及倡导的公民环境主义等具有生态审美特征,而梅洛-庞蒂的身体现象学旨在寻求身体在世界(环境)中安置的努力则使生态学获得了现象学的支撑。生态美学作为一种新范式,也须要批判性地加以认识。

The disciplinary history of ecological aesthetics can trace back to the beauty of nature.In fact,we can find rationale from Dewey and Merleau-Ponty in eco-centrism,dualism breaching and the perception that any phenomenon is beautiful.For one thing,Dewey＇s naturalistic empiricism and civic environmentalism have involved ecological aesthetics features;for another,Merleau-Ponty＇s soma phenomenology is aimed at settling the body in the world or the environment,whereby lending support to ecology.As a new paradigm,however,ecological aesthetics should be appreciated critically.
