西方环境美学中人类主体的死亡与重生

On the Death and Rebirth of Human Subjectin the Western Natural Environmental Aesthetics

在西方哲学发展历程中,人类主体经历了与统一母体主动分离,再走向融合的过程。西方环境美学的兴起便体现了人类重回母体的渴望,在其推动下,人类与自然从主客二分转向融合统一,前环境美学时期膨胀的人类主体也在融合之时逐渐死亡。但这种死亡并不意味着人类主体性就此衰颓,而预示着一次全新的破茧而出:环境美学在人与自然统合的基础上进行环境实践,人类主体也由此获得重生并积极承担起生态责任。

In the development of the Western philosophy,the human subject experiences the process of separating from the unity and then merging with the unity.The development of western natural environmental aesthetics reflects the desire of human beings returning to their original unity.This desire promotes the integration of human and nature,which develops beyond the dualistic mode.The expanded subjectivity in the pre-environmental aesthetics period becomes feeble and dies gradually in this integration.This kind of death does not mean that human subjectivity is completely dead,but heralds a new breaking through:the natural environmental aesthetics encourages environmental practice on the base of the integration of human and nature,and thus the human subject is reborn and actively assumes the ecological responsibility.
