近年来,国内学者对于当代西方环境美学开始了理论研究与著作译介,表明环境美学的影响正在日渐扩大,并有望形成新的美学范式,这组学术笔谈旨在回应这一新的学术领域.程相占的《中国环境美学思想史研究的当代意义》从"重写中国美学史"、"与西方环境美学展开理论对话"、"丰富当代生态智慧"3个方面讨论了中国环境美学思想研究的当代意义,并提出"探索生态智慧"应该成为这一新的研究领域的思想主题.马明的《中国古代城市美学"象天法地"原则初探》借鉴美国城市设计大师凯文·林奇的城市意象理论,提出中国古代哲学思想的"象天法地"原则是中国古代城市意象创造的根本原则.李静的《始宁别墅与谢灵运的环境美学思想》以谢灵运的始宁别墅为研究对象,提出其选址与建筑设计体现了参与式的环境审美思想,使人在自然环境中仰观俯察而返归自然之性,从而更好地体验与自然宇宙一致的"生命的节奏".王萌的《宋代山水画论"气韵生动"命题的环境美学内涵》集中讨论了宋代山水画论继承了"气韵生动"命题,指出该命题在宋代成为一种环境感知与环境体验模式,它集中反映了中国古代美学对于艺术与环境关系的理解,有着浓厚的环境美学内涵.张乾坤的《从"取景在借"看李渔的环境美学思想》从审美模式、审美观照方式、审美体验等方面讨论了李渔的环境美学思想.5位作者分别从总论与不同历史时期的重要环境美学思想切入,试图粗略地勾勒出中国环境美学思想史的研究对象和历史轮廓.

Ecosophy and the Research of the History of Chinese Environmental Aesthetic Thoughts

Of late,Chinese scholars' study and translation of Western environmental aesthetics indicates the increase of the influence of environmental aesthetics and the prospect of its becoming a new aesthetic paradigm.The present paper discusses this new field.Cheng Xiangzhan's "The Contemporary Meaning of the Study of the History of Chinese Environmental Aesthetic Thoughts" discusses the contemporary meaning of the study of Chinese environmental aesthetic thoughts from three aspects: "rewriting Chinese aesthetic history","a dialogue with Western environmental aesthetics" and "enriching contemporary ecosophy",and suggests that "probing ecosophy" be the theme of this new field.Ma Ming's "A Primary Analysis of the Principle of Modeling Heaven and Earth in Ancient Chinese Urban Aesthetics",in light of American urban planner Kevin Lynch's theory of urban image,argues that the ancient Chinese philosophical idea Modeling Heaven and Earth is the fundamental principle of city design.Li Jing's "Shining Villa and Xie Lingyun's Environmental Aesthetic Thoughts" studies Xie's Shining Villa and suggests that its site selection and architecture design show the idea of engagement in environmental aesthetics for it enables the dweller to watch the environment and return to nature.Wang Meng's "The Environmental Aesthetic Significance Implied in the Statement of 'Vivid Life-force' in the Theory of Landscape Paintings in Song Dynasty" shows that the theory of landscape paintings in Song Dynasty inherits the concept of "vivid life-force" and develops it into an important pattern of environmental perception and environmental experience.It reflects the understanding about the relationship between art and environment in ancient Chinese aesthetics and implies rich significance of environmental aesthetics.Zhang Qiankun's "Li Yu's Environmental Aesthetics in Light of Borrowing Landscape" researched Li Yu's environmental aesthetic thought from aesthetic pattern,aesthetic angle,and aesthetic experience.To sum up,the five authors sketch for us the object and history of the study of Chinese environmental aesthetics.
