Environmental aesthetics crosses several commonly recognized
divides: between analytic and continental philosophy, Eastern and
Western traditions, universalizing and historicizing approaches,
and theoretical and practical concerns. This volume sets out to
show how these,perspectives can be brought into conversation with
one another. The first part surveys the development of the field
and discusses some important future directions. The second part
explains how widening the scope of environmental aesthetics demands
a continual rethinking of the relationship between aesthetics and
other fields. How does environmental aesthetics relate to ethics?
Does aesthetic appreciation of the environment entail an attitude
of respect? What is the relationship between the theory and
practice? The third part is devoted to the relationship between the
aesthetics of nature and the aesthetics of art. Can art help "save
the Earth"? The final part illustrates the emergence of practical
applications from theoretical studies by focusing on concrete case
studies.
