论整体自然观念下自然美的重要性

传统农业社会所形成的整体自然观念 ,随着人类文明的进步、科技的发展变得分崩离析。要想使社会获得可持续性发展 ,整体的自然观念是必要的 ,只有这样一种自然观念 ,才能引导我们在管理利用自然的同时 ,也学会如何尊重自然。通过对美学中自然美问题的考察可以发现 ,一直为美学所忽视的对自然的审美鉴赏 ,能够有助于培养一种整体的自然观念 ,而艺术只是作为沉思自然的中介才具有类似的重要性。因此 ,自然美的问题也应该成为美学研究的一个核心问题

The Significance of Natural Beauty in the Idea of Nature as a Whole

The idea of nature as a whole formed in traditioal agriculture society disappears with the development of human civilization and the advance of science and technology. And it is also necessary if our society want to develop continuously. Only with the idea can we not only govern the nature but also give respect to it. After a research on the problem of nature in Kant, we find that aesthetic appreciation in nature can help to reform the idea of nature as a whole, and it can't be of the same significance except as a medium of meditation on nature. In a word, aesthetics should center upon the problem of natural beauty.
