Abstract
Based on the real context of human-nature relation in the epoch of the Anthropocene and the thought of ecosophy in the ethico-aesthetic paradigm, Félix Guattari's thought of "The Three Ecologies" leads to the theoretical transformation of ecological aesthetics from environmental ecological dimension in a narrow sense to a generalized ecological model composed of environmental, social and mental ecological dimensions. Based on environmental ecosophy, the environmental ecological dimension follows the machinic aesthetic paradigm and serves the purpose of presenting the natural process and ecological justice for all species. Based on social ecosophy, the social ecological dimension follows the group Eros principle and serves the purpose of reconstructing human social harmony and social justice for all peoples. Based on mental ecosophy, the mental ecological dimension follows the multivalent logic and serves the purpose of reshaping the incorporeal value system and stepping into aesthetico-existential process. The three ecological visions are three complementary headings which are situated in antinomies, and thus the reconquest of a degree of creative autonomy in one particular dimension encourages conquests in other two dimensions. Consequently, ecosophy is achieved by means of double reconstruction of the exterior living environment and the interior life ontology, and the aesthetic redemption of ecological crisis is realized in the end.
