Abstract: Ecological aestheticsis confronted with the difficulty of being set up as a subject, but aesthetics itself is of particular significance to ecocrisis between human and nature. Such does not lie in the research of aesthetics by way and in the mode of thinking in ecology, but in the fact that aesthetics itself is a kind of ecology, and to some extend a profound one. Aesthetic view of nature is something that makes nature “return to fascination”; art and beautiful things themselves are some kinds of “Sein-lassen”, aestheticsin the sense of existentialism resists man’s technicalized living style and opens up man’s “poetic habitation”, hence fundamentally checks even overcomes the deterioration of the relation between man and nature.

Key words: aesthetics, ecology, deep ecology
