Taking the view that aesthetics is a study grounded in perception,
the essays in this volume exhibit many sides of the perceptual
complex that is the aesthetic field and develop them in different
ways. They reinvigorate our understanding of such arts as music and
architecture; they range across the natural landscape to the urban
one; they reassess the place of beauty in the modern environment
and reassess the significance of the contributions to aesthetic
theory of Kant and Dewey; and they broach the kinds of meanings and
larger understanding that aesthetic engagement with the human
environment can offer. Written over the past decade, these original
and innovative essays lead to a fresh encounter with the
possibilities of aesthetic experience, one which has constantly
evolved, moving in recent years in the direction of what Berleant
terms 'social aesthetics', which enhances human-environmental
integration and sociality.
