Environmental Aesthetics as a Structural Part of Environmental Philosophy
Environmental Aesthetics as a Structural Part of Environmental Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: This study delves into the basic principles of understanding the environment from both philosophical and aesthetic perspectives. The theoretical aspect of the topic is explored and a scientific approach to solving current environmental problems is discussed. To achieve this, philosophical approaches to holistic existence are necessary, which include environmental logic, environmental ethics, and environmental aesthetics. Environmental ethics is traditionally focused on the problem of how a moral person should treat the environment, but in this study, we also consider the theory of rational knowledge and the rational factor of the environment. Ecological aesthetics is defined as the study of nature and its perception from a general theoretical point of view, as well as sensory-emotional cognition/activity and creative imagination. This specific aesthetic theory includes two dimensions – the aesthetics of society and the environment interaction and aesthetics of environmental narrative. The theory serves cognitive, educational, culturalcreative, and environmental functions.
