The Aesthetics of Nature and the Environment
View through CrossRef
The study of environmental and ecological aesthetics in China only began
in the 21st century. But environmental aesthetics has a long history including
the design of Chinese gardens and the practice and the evaluation of
ancient Chinese landscape paintings. Comparing the aesthetic discourses
on nature in China and in Europe, this essay lists Western discourses on
the beauty of creation, of the sublime, and of the picturesque. Chinese
discourses of the beauty of the nature have undergone a discursive
development, which has formed a transformation of the discipline of
aesthetics. From the appreciation of the beauty of nature in ancient times
to contemporary ecological and environmental aesthetics, discourses in
both cultures demonstrate similarities and differences. Understanding
contemporary schools of Chinese aesthetics, from subjectivism to the
materialists, shows that an historical analysis has positive implications
for our understanding of the aesthetics of nature in both eastern and
western cultures.
