PHIL 344 - Environmental Aesthetics

4 credits
An exploration of questions centered at the intersection of aesthetics and environmental philosophy. Of primary concern are the relation between the aesthetic appreciation of nature and the aesthetic appreciation of art; the roles played by scientific knowledge, emotional engagement and imagination in the aesthetic appreciation of nature; the thesis that all of wild nature has positive value; and the theoretical role aesthetic considerations play in the rationale behind environmental conservation. Same as: ESS 344 . Offered in alternate years. CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Breadth/Interdisciplinary, CLA-Writing Intensive
