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. The scope of ecological criticism in this book is appropriately expanded, not limited to literary and artistic criticism, but also encompassing cultural criticism, widely involving fields such as ecological philosophy, ecological anthropology, ecological aesthetics, ecological theology, ecological ethics, ecological historiography, ecological literary studies, media ecology, and more. The compilers of this book have gathered over 2,000 insightful statements 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 the extraordinary views of ordinary people to ensure the book's authority and classicism. To meet the urgent needs of current academic research, this book adopts a "quote-style" format, balancing Eastern and Western perspectives, ancient and modern, distilling essence and summarizing key points, with an emphasis on convenience and practicality in its layout.
