Description
Aesthetics and Nature by Glenn Parsons offers a clear introduction to the field of nature aesthetics. The book explores current debates in the subject, providing a thorough overview of its key concepts.
Parsons examines the relationship between nature aesthetics and two influential areas: the traditional project of understanding art's value and contemporary thought on our ethics towards nature. He outlines five major approaches to appreciating the aesthetic value of nature, including its presence in wilderness, gardens, and environmental art.
The book also investigates the idea that preserving nature's beauty is a compelling reason to protect wilderness. This concept has significant implications for the importance of aesthetic value in our relationship with nature, and its impact on the preservation of natural environments.
