The paper aims to lay out a critical analysis of eco-aesthetical wisdom of pan-Indian society through the lens of ancient seers whose insights for environment and ecology were shaped in the form of the teachings of Vedas and Upaniṣads. With the passage of time, the bond between humans and non-humans has largely weakened, and humans have increased exploiting the natural resources without caring for their regeneration. Consequent nature bred hostility is emerging as a bigger crisis in front of the 21 Century world that may sooner turn to be, if not taken seriously, an existential crisis for the whole human race. The Upaniṣads enlighten us not only with the knowledge of maintaining the relationship between human beings and physical environment but also among various inhabitants of ecology. Therefore, as Deep Ecology proposes, there should be a shift from human at the centre (anthropocentricism) to ecology at the centre (ecocentrism) which very much was existing in Indian society. So, this paper attempts to deal with the global ecological crisis co-opting with the ecological/environmental ideas and attitude of the classical Indian treatises.

重新认识人类世 Ved?nta 的生态智慧：生态美学视角

本文旨在通过古代先知的视角对泛印度社会的生态美学智慧进行批判性分析，他们对环境和生态的见解以吠陀经和奥义书的教义形式形成。随着时间的推移，人类与非人类之间的纽带已经大大减弱，人类对自然资源的开发越来越多，而忽视了它们的再生。随之而来的自然孕育的敌意正在成为 21 世纪世界面前的更大危机，如果不认真对待，它可能很快就会变成整个人类的生存危机。Upaniṣads 不仅启发了我们维持人类与物理环境之间关系的知识，而且还启发了我们生态中各种居民之间的关系。因此，正如深层生态所提出的，应该从以人为中心（人类中心主义）转变为以生态为中心（生态中心主义），这在印度社会中非常存在。因此，本文试图结合印度古典论文的生态/环境思想和态度来应对全球生态危机。
