Features: The principles followed in compiling this book are forward-looking, inclusive, classic, and practical. The academic perspective of this book not only views ecology as a body of knowledge or discipline but, more importantly, as a concept—a new worldview, a postmodern constructive worldview. This book appropriately broadens the scope of ecological criticism, not limited to literary and artistic criticism, but also includes cultural criticism, extensively covering fields such as ecological philosophy, ecological anthropology, ecological aesthetics, ecological theology, ecological ethics, ecological historiography, ecological literary studies, media ecology, and more. The editors have gathered over 2,000 insightful quotes from more than 500 scholars and experts from around the world and throughout history, totaling over 1 million words. While respecting the authoritative theories of masters, they have also paid attention to extraordinary arguments from ordinary people to ensure the book's authority and classicism. To meet the urgent needs of current academic research, this book adopts a "" (aphorism style), blending Eastern and Western perspectives, ancient and modern insights, distilling profound ideas concisely, and arranging the content in a way that prioritizes convenience and practicality.
