精神生态是地球生态系统中的一个重要方面，人类的精神是地球生态系统中一个重要的变量。艺术的价值也是精神的价值，真正的艺术精神等于生态精神。生态文艺批评又是一种更看重文学艺术内涵的文艺批评，它并不排斥形式主义的文艺批评以及其它类型的文艺批评，因为生态学的一个基本原则就是“多元共存”。 Spiritual ecology is an important aspect of the earth’s ecosystem. The human spirit is an important variable in the earth’s ecosystem. The value of art is also the value of the spirit. The true artistic spirit is equal to the ecological spirit. Eco-cultural criticism is another kind of literary criticism that emphasizes the connotation of literature and art. It does not exclude formalistic literary criticism and other types of literary criticism because one of the basic principles of ecology is “pluralistic coexistence.”
