Abstract: The academic principle of constructing eco-aesthetics is "global problems and international discourse." The principle implies on the one hand the essential way for Chinese aesthetics to join the world academic community and on the other hand the path and criteria of building Chinese academic self-confidence. The way to academic self-confidence lies in Chinese academicians’ response to the global common problems from the perspective of eco-aesthetics, researches delivered in internationally communicable discourse, and resolution to deal with academic issues of international importance.

Key words: eco-aesthetics, academic self-confidence
