Abstract In the postmodern context, environmental aesthetics and landscape aesthetics, both of which are the contemporary aesthetic forms with development alpotentials, uphold similar aesthetic views, constantly intersect and converge, and are closely related with each other. However, the relationships between them vary with scholars. Bourassa equates landscape aesthetics with environmental aesthetics,while Berleant and Carlson regard landscape aesthetics as an important part of environmental aesthetics. In China, Zhang Fa juxtaposes landscape aesthetics, with environmental aesthetics and together with ecological criticism call them“ecological aesthetics” while Chen Wangheng thinks of landscape aesthetics as extension of environmental aesthetics. The discussion of the relationship between landscape aesthetics and environmental aesthetics helps to clarify research priorities and development orientation of the two so as to develop them further.
