由于审美经验对保护自然至关重要，我将讨论环境美学与环境主义之间的关系。我首先回顾两种传统的观点：风景如画的方法和形式主义。一些环保主义者对与这些观点相关的审美模式提出了批评，指责它们是人类中心主义、风景痴迷、肤浅、主观和/或道德空虚的。鉴于传统自然美学的这些明显缺陷，我提出了环保主义的五个要求：对自然的审美应该是无中心的、以环境为中心的、严肃的、客观的和道德的。然后，我考察了两种关于自然的适当审美欣赏的当代立场，即参与美学和科学认知主义，并根据环境保护主义的要求对它们进行了评估。
Since aesthetic experience is vital for the protection of nature, I address the relationship between environmental aesthetics and environmentalism. I first review two traditional positions, the picturesque approach and formalism. Some environmentalists fault the modes of aesthetic appreciation associated with these views, charging they are anthropocentric, scenery-obsessed, superficial, subjective, and/or morally vacuous. In light of these apparent failings of traditional aesthetics of nature, I suggest five requirements of environmentalism: that aesthetic appreciation of nature should be acentric, environment-focused, serious, objective and morally engaged. I then examine two contemporary positions concerning appropriate aesthetic appreciation of nature, the aesthetics of engagement and scientific cognitivism, assessing each in terms of the requirements of environmentalism.
