Book Description
Traditional aesthetics is often associated with the appreciation of art, but Allen Carlson shows how much of
our aesthetic experience does not encompass art but nature--in our response to sunsets, mountains, horizons or more mundane surroundings.
From the Publisher
'I found much stimulating discussion in these pages. [Carlson] is a worthy opponent for those wedded to a more Kantian or historicist approach to natural beauty.' British Journal of Aesthetics
