Ecological Aesthetics: the Intersection of the Times of the Aesthetics of Contemplation and the Aesthetics of Participation−A Comparative Analysis of Ecological Aesthetics and Traditional Aesthetics

The traditional aesthetics of contemplation takes art as its main aesthetic object, while the ecological aesthetics tries to turn to a larger aesthetic field than art and human society: the earth biosphere or natural ecosystem. This kind of ecological turn of aesthetic object will inevitably change the aesthetic theme, means, mode, way and goal of traditional aesthetics of still view. However, the ecological aesthetics obviously does not exclude the traditional aesthetic model of still view, but takes a step forward under the framework of the traditional aesthetic model of still view. Through comparative analysis, the two can learn from each other, learn from each other’s strengths and make up for their weaknesses, eliminate the false and save the true, so as to achieve the convergence and fit of the times of still view aesthetics and participation aesthetics.
