The Second Discussion about the Differences and Similarities Between Ecological Aesthetics and Environmental Aesthetics
It has always been a hot issue to distinguish the similarities and differences between ecological aesthetics and environmental aesthetics.In the past decade(2013-2023),significant progress has been made in both ecological aesthetics and environmental aesthetics on an international scale,and the academic community's view on the relationship between the two has been further deepened.The international academic circles have different views on ecological aesthetics and environmental aesthetics,but no consensus has been reached.As a matter of fact,ecological aesthetics and environmental aesthetics should set up a dual and parallel position,which should deepen and expand environmental aesthetics at the same time,and construct a theoretical framework of environmental aesthetics that is significantly different from ecological aesthetics.At the same time,the"body-mind-environment"triad paradigm not only tries to integrate ecological aesthetics and environmental aesthetics,but also tries to reconstruct a new aesthetic paradigm with it as a theoretical paradigm.The analysis of the connection and difference between ecological aesthetics and environmental aesthetics can make us more clearly understand the theoretical ideas,contributions and limitations of the two,and grasp the new changes of aesthetics in the current situation,that is,to move towards the"body-mind-environment"ternary aesthetic paradigm,which is the biggest inspiration for aesthetics brought by the discussions about the relationship between ecological aesthetics and environmental aesthetics.
