The aesthetics of nature has over the last few decades become an
intense focus of philosophical reflection, as it has been ever more
widely recognised that it is not a mere appendage to the aesthetics
of art. Just as nature offers aesthetic experiences beyond the
reach of art, so the aesthetics of nature raises issues not
contained within the philosophy of art. Malcolm Budd presents four
interlinked essays addressing all the main problems about the
aesthetics of nature. These include: how the aesthetic appreciation
of nature should be understood; the character of an aesthetic
response to nature; what kinds of aesthetic experience nature
affords and what kinds of aesthetic judgement it is amenable to;
the aesthetic significance of intrusions by humanity into nature;
whether aesthetic judgements about nature can be objectively true;
the doctrine of positive aesthetics with respect to nature; the
aesthetic significance of knowledge of nature and in particular
whether scientific knowledge is necessary for serious aesthetic
appreciation of nature; and the correct model for the appropriate
aesthetic appreciation of nature. The Aesthetic Appreciation of
Nature also includes a comprehensive exposition and examination of
the thoughts of the greatest philosopher to make a substantial
contribution to the subject, Immanuel Kant, and an encyclopaedic
critical survey of much of the most significant recent literature.
Scholars and students of aesthetics will find valuable resources
here, and much to think about.
