Research On The Theory Of Natural Aesthetics In The New Era

In the new era,there are abundant studies on the theory of natural aesthetics.Zeng Fanren,Chen Wangheng Peng Feng and Cheng Xiangzhan are representatives.They involve many aspects including the reference of the western ecological aesthetic resources,construction and integration of Chinese and western ecological wisdom,concern for the destruction of ecological balance,and discussion which focus on natural beauty.This paper gather their studies on nature aesthetic theory to form a systematic cognition of this problem.We also need to explore the investigation of this problem although there are comprehensive cognition of the natural aesthetics to some extent.Therefore,this paper aims to compare their important theories and combine theory and practice.As a result,people can pay more attention to many practical problems related to nature,environment,ecology,and so on,to establish the correct natural aesthetic.This paper consists of three sections as follows.The section of Introduction mainly discusses the significance,research status and research summary of the natural aesthetics theory in the new era.It also elaborates the development of the ecological aesthetics,environmental aesthetics and nature beauty,respectively,and briefly introduces representatives and references.Section ? clearly conveys the theoretical foundation and research subject of the natural aesthetics theory in the new era.We elaborates the origin and development of the ecological aesthetics,environmental aesthetics and nature beauty,and then discuss the theoretical foundation of these concepts.They were affected by the ecological wisdom of ancient China and ecological resources of the west.Finally,this section analyzes the connection and difference between ecological aesthetics and environmental aesthetics,which makes the natural aesthetics theory in the new era clear.Section ? pays attention to the representatives who have contributed to nature aesthetics theory,for example,Zeng Fanren,Chen Wangheng,Liu Chengji and Peng Feng,et al.Chen Wangheng investigated the disciplinary character,philosophical foundation,environmental beauty and nature beauty of environmental aesthetics.Peng Feng developed his foundation of natural beauty theory from traditional aesthetic ideology of ancient China,in especial Confucianism and Taoism,and from the theories of Kant and Mikel Dufrenne.Liu Chengji reconstructed the theory of nature beauty and discussed the development of natural aesthetics.Zeng Fanren presented his ecological aesthetics theory by combining theory with practice,which is powerful to reform significantly reality and has the f:unction of aesthetic education.Section ? discusses the ecological criticism that began in the early 1980s.With,increasingly serious ecological crisis,the ecological criticism features unique charm and improves simultaneously the development of ecological literature by breaking through the anthropocentrism and the ideology of subject-object dichotomy.Zeng Fanren,Wang Nuo,et al.have discussed and summarized the ecological criticism.The investigation of the nature aesthetics theory is inspirational to the development of the ecological criticism and can provide a theoretical tool for the later.In addition,the problems that the ecological criticism and ecological literature face deserve our attention.Finally,the section of Conclusion emphasizes that the investigation of the natural aesthetics theory in the new era has great significance.Theoretical achievements can improve and guide the development of the ecological criticism and ecological literature.Meanwhile,they also can rouse our recognition and spiritual feeling of nature,ecology and environment.
