Academically speaking, ecological aesthetics as aesthetics cannot be established. This is because: from the perspective of civilization generation, civilization and ecology are opposites. From the perspective of aesthetic genetics, beauty is generated in civilization, not in ecology. From the perspective of aesthetic ontology, aesthetics is the product of human free consciousness, so it is subjective. But the ecology is the object of scientific research, so it is objective.The reason why people think that ecological aesthetics is established is because they have made two ideological mistakes: they regard ecological aesthetics as natural aesthetics; they regard ecological aesthetics as life aesthetics. Compatibility between ecology and human aesthetic activities can only be achieved in ecological civilization, which belongs to the scope of ecological civilization aesthetics. Ecological civilization aesthetics is developed from environmental aesthetics. They are both cultural aesthetics, but ecological civilization aesthetics is an overall aesthetics and an aesthetics of the times, of which environmental aesthetics is only a part. In a long period of time, the main part of ecological civilization aesthetics is environmental aesthetics. Ecological civilization aesthetics is an emerging aesthetics, which takes the beauty of ecological civilization as its core category. This kind of aesthetics has strong scientific characteristics, in which ecological science plays a decisive regulatory role. The core of ecological civilization aesthetics is clear, but the boundaries are fuzzy.With the in-depth development of ecological civilization construction, ecological civilization aesthetics continues to construct and improve itself, and has an unlimited future.
