Landscape, Natural Beauty and the Arts offers probing studies of
the complex structure of aesthetic responses to nature. Each
chapter refines and expands the terms of discussion, and together
they enrich the debate with insights from art history, literary
criticism, geography and philosophy. To explore the interrelation
between our conceptions of nature, beauty and art, the contributors
consider the social construction of nature, the determination of
our appreciation by artistic media, and the duality of nature's
determining in gardening. Showing that natural beauty is
impregnated with concepts derived from the arts and from particular
accounts of nature, the volume occasions questions of the
distinction and relation between art and nature generally, and
culminates in a set of philosophical studies of the role of
scientific understanding, engagement and emotion in the aesthetic
appreciation of nature.
