Interpretation of Aesthetic from Ecological Perspective: Based on “Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844”

In the “Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844”, based on the ecological perspective, Marx formed a profound interpretation of the aesthetic occurrence, aesthetic process, and aesthetic ideal. In the ecological perspective, human aesthetic sense originates from the practice of facing nature, and it also breeds in the humanized nature. On this basis, human, as the aesthetic subject, takes the “life community” as the aesthetic object. Through active aesthetic participation in the ecological world, human construct an aesthetic standard that integrates the internal and external dimensions, thus forming the aesthetic activity process in the ecological world. Finally, the aesthetic ideal of the ecological world is to realize the pursuit of total liberation of the ecological world on the basis of human liberation. It can be said that Marx's interpretation of the ecological vision of aesthetics provides a fundamental theoretical support for the foothold and development of ecological aesthetics in aesthetics. It expands the breadth and depth of aesthetic theory, and effectively excavates the significance of aesthetics in the construction of ecological civilization.
