生态美是生态自由的象征

Ecological Beauty Is the Symbol of Ecological Freedom

生态美学在中国的研究已有40年的历史,如今人们逐渐认识到生态美学存在的局限,本文试图开辟新的研究美的路径,从自由的维度论证美的本质。美是生命存在最优质的形式,有自然、有人才有美,有自由才有生态美。自由是美的基础,西方启蒙运动以来人对自然的自由是征服,征服自然的本质是人与自然分裂,二者处于敌对状态,征服之自由并不是真正的自由,其导致了自然环境的破坏,也不美。而在自然面前真正的自由是人与自然和谐共生。人类想要获得美必须放弃征服自然,与自然走向和谐共生。人与自然和谐共生象征着人与自然的本质统一,由此人成为人,获得人之为人的人性,人性使人高尚,使人美。美是道德的象征,道德是建立在自由的基础上,自由是道德的拱顶石,因此美的本质是自由。生态美的本质是自由,和谐共生即是自由,生态美是人类自由自觉活动的外化,是生态自由的显现。

Ecological aesthetics research has 40 years of history in China.Nowadays,people begin to realize the limitations of eco-aesthetics.This paper attempts to open up a new way to study beauty and demonstrate the essence of beauty from the dimension of freedom.Beauty is the highest quality form of life.Only nature and people has beauty and ecological beauty in freedom.Freedom is the foundation of beauty.Since the Western Enlightenment,human freedom over nature is conquest,so neither freedom nor beauty,the essence of conquering nature is the separation between man and nature.The two are in hostile state,and the conquest freedom is not true freedom,which causes damage to the natural environment and is not beautiful.The true freedom in front of nature is the harmonious symbiosis between man and nature.Human must give up conquering nature in order to obtain beauty,and live in harmony with nature.The harmonious symbiosis of man and nature is the essential unity of man and nature,thus man becomes human and obtains human nature.Human nature makes people noble and beautiful.Beauty is a symbol of morality,while morality is based on freedom,and Freedom is the capstone of morality.Therefore,the essence of beauty is freedom.The essence of ecological beauty is freedom,harmonious symbiosis is freedom,and ecological beauty is the externalization of human conscious activities and the manifestation of ecological freedom.
