Real Beauty Eddy M. Zemach 1997 Philosophy - Aesthetics

Paperback: $21.95 SH | 0-271-02495-X Aesthetics has typically been regarded as an arena where claims about truth cannot be made as questions about art seem to involve more matters of taste than knowledge. In Real Beauty, however, Eddy Zemach maintains that beauty, ugliness, gracefulness, gaudiness, and similar aesthetic properties are real features of public things and argues that whether these features are present is a matter of fact that can be empirically investigated. By examining the opposing nonrealistic views of Subjectivism, Noncognitivism, and Relativism, Zemach attempts to show how anti-realistic interpretations of art generate absurd results and leave the realistic reading as the only cogent semantic interpretation of aesthetic statements.

Brittan, Jr., Gordon G., "Wind, energy, landscape: reconciling nature and technology," Philosophy and Geography 4 (No. 2, 2001): 169-184. Despite the fact that they are in most respects environmentally benign, electricity-generating wind turbines frequently encounter a great deal of resistance. Much of this resistance is aesthetic in character; wind turbines somehow do not "fit" in the landscape. On one (classical) view, landscapes are beautiful to the extent that they are "scenic", well-balanced compositions. But wind turbines introduce a discordant note, they are out of "scale". On another (ecological) view, landscapes are beautiful if their various elements form a stable and integrated organic whole. But wind turbines are difficult to integrate into the biotic community; at least in certain respects, they are like "weeds". Moreover, there is a reason why the 100-meter, three bladed wind turbines now favored by the industry cannot very well be accommodated to any landscape view. They are, as Albert Borgmann would put it, characteristic of contemporary technology, distanced "devices" for the production of a commodity rather than "things" with which one can engage. It follows that the only way in which the aesthetic resistance to wind turbines can be overcome is to make them more "thing-like". One such "thing-like" turbine is discussed. Brittan is Regent's Professor of Philosophy at Montana State University. (P&G)

--Loftis, J. Robert, "Three Problems for the Aesthetic Foundations of Environmental Ethics," Philosophy in the Contemporary World 10 (no. 2, Fall-Winter 2003):41-50. A critical look at aesthetics as the basis for nature preservation, presenting three reason why we should not rely on aesthetic foundations to justify the environmentalist program. First, a comparison to other kinds of aesthetic value shows that the aesthetic value of nature can provide weak reason for action at best. Second, not everything environmentalists want to protect has positive aesthetic qualities. Attempts have been made to get around this problem by developing a reformist attitude towards natural aesthetics. These approaches fail. Third, development can be as aesthetically positive as nature. If it is simply beauty we are looking for, why can't the beauty of a well-constructed dam or a magnificent skyscraper suffice? Loftis is in philosophy, University of Alabama.

AB: This book brings the voices of leading Continental philosophers into discussion about what is emerging as one of our most pressing and timely concerns--the environmental crisis facing our planet. The essays featured in this volume embrace environmental philosophy in its broadest sense and include topics such as environmental ethics, environmental aesthetics, ontology, theology, gender and the environment, and the role of science and technology in forming knowledge about our world. Here, philosophy goes out into the field and comes back with rich insights and new approaches to environmental problems. (publisher, edited)

AB: In this paper, I explore some parallels and dissimilarities between aesthetic appreciation that takes as its focus art objects and that which focuses on natural objects. I cover three areas. The first deals with general approach, whether a paradigm of engagement is more appropriate to environmental aesthetics than one of detachment and disinterest. The second theme is about preservation and whether the appropriate model is static or dynamic. The final theme is about environmental criticism and the application of aesthetic theory to arguments for preservation.

AB: None of the notions at the heart of the postmodern--differend, simulacrum, irony, pastiche, multiple coding, the sublime, ambiguity--derive from Heidegger or Adorno. Both stamped, however, postmodern culture. Heidegger and Adorno give access to environmental aesthetics. Both stained critical regionalism as defensible posture in architecture theory. Heidegger inspired the concept of weak being (Vattimo) supporting an aesthetics of oscillation. Although we may not subsume Adorno under an aesthetics of the sublime, Lyotard, yet, rearticulates a stance close to Adorno: both conceive art in terms of alluding to the absolute. Heidegger's and Adorno's relevance today consists in assisting or remapping of postmodernity. (edited)

AB: It is often observed--though not by aestheticians--that homemaking is a kind of art. I explain how we might think of ordinary domestic practice as an environmental art. I argue that the aesthetics of domesticity extends beyond the visual appearance of the home to encompass the very process of inhabiting it. Broadly conceived, the art of domesticity links two distinct, though usually inseparable, practices possessing environmental significance: first, the design of space (what the interior designer typically does), and second, the actual inhabiting and maintaining of space. I present a characterization of the practice of inhabiting, accentuating its aesthetic features.

AB: The article proposes a new approach to Adorno's notion of natural beauty. On the one hand Adorno is confronted with Derrida's 'method' of deconstruction. On the other hand recently developed environmental aesthetics is outlined. Explicit references are made to the German environmental aesthetics by G. Bohme and M. Seel. But the article argues that we have to go back again to Adorno in order to avoid shortcomings of deconstruction as well as environmental aesthetics. There are still convincing arguments to be found in Adorno's materialism and in his conviction that we can't play off art against nature even if nature is understood as environment.

AB: The paper argues that, given the global nature of environmental crisis due to ecological crisis, any environmental aesthetics can rest not on local and thus diverse principles, but the single philosophical foundation applicable to the entire earth. The foundation consists in seeing the earth as the work of art in the indefinite process of being continuously created throughout human history. Every element of nature, every human being, every human activity and every relation between their relations, would constitute as necessary components of man. It is only in the light of this global vision of the world that any specific aesthetic management of environment can be coherently undertaken. (edited)

However the primary mode of normative thought about nature is aesthetic and it is surprising therefore that so little has yet been written on environmental aesthetics. As these books testify, however, the situation is rapidly changing. Both works are useful contributions to this growing field.

RATIONALE

Derived from the Greek, aisthêsis (sense perception), the English word 'aesthetic'

connotes appreciative sensuous perception. As an area of philosophical study, aesthetics

is, with ethics, a part of axiology or value theory. In the 18th century, aesthetics was

considered to have two branches, natural aesthetics (the appreciative perception of

nature) and artifactual aesthetics (the appreciative perception of art). In the late 19th and

early to mid-20th centuries, natural aesthetics was eclipsed by artifactual aesthetics--so

much so that the leading forum for the field was named the Journal of Aesthetics and Art

Criticism (apparently without a concern that any objects of appreciative sensuous

perception were being neglected or left untheorized). With the emergence of

environmental philosophy in the last quarter of the 20th century, natural aesthetics or

environmental aesthetics was gradually revived--not only by philosophers but by

evolutionary ecologists and sociobiologists, such as E. O. Wilson, Gordian Orians, and

Stephen R. Kellert. The study of environmental aesthetics is important for many reasons,

among the most notable is that natural aesthetic considerations play a prominent role in

the establishment of national parks and wilderness areas and natural aesthetics lies at the

foundation of some theories of environmental ethics. This course will consider natural or

environmental aesthetics from the perspective of several disciplines: philosophy and

ethics, cultural geography, evolutionary biology and evolutionary sociology and

psychology (sociobiology).

The Eye and the Hand: Professional Sensitivity and the Idea of an Aesthetics of Work on the Land by Justin Winkler in Contemporary Aesthetics https://www.contempaesthetics.org/index.html ABSTRACT

Academic aesthetics is guided by the visual and notions of distance. In this article I want to study how aJuly 19, 2005n aesthetics of work, of process and proximity, could function. I am asking why the peasant population has been always been supposed not to have an aesthetic appreciation of their land. I contend that they had some kind of appreciation, but that this was conceived expressed in terms fundamentally different from the academic and pictorial landscape aesthetics. With the term 'professional' sensitivity and examples from the Swiss Alps and Southern France, I discuss the question of how an archaeology of an autochthonous aesthetics can be done.



Machines in the Ocean: The Aesthetics of Wind Farms

by Yuriko Saito in Contemporary Aesthetics https://www.contempaesthetics.org/index.html

ABSTRACT This is an exploration of the aesthetic opposition lodged against wind power facilities. Taking the recent controversy regarding the proposal of a wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod as an example, I analyze the opponents' claim that such a construction "ruins" or "spoils" the otherwise pristine landscape. After suggesting some strategies of making the structure more aesthetically positive purely on the sensuous level, I propose that this specific issue must be discussed in the context of larger issues: civic environmentalism and the aesthetics of sustainability.

ISBN 1-889119-60-1 paperback $26.95



The philosophical field of aesthetics is diverse, rich, and very much alive today. But even with the success of various books, journals, and conferences in this area there are still gaps in the

literature. One such gap is that represented by the aesthetic of the "everyday," or, aesthetic

reflection on commonplace objects outside of those normally associated with aesthetic criticism

(such as the plastic and performance arts). This collection of newly commissioned articles offers an alternative cross disciplinary approach to aesthetics which fills this gap. The volume collects

papers that investigate issues ranging from broadly theoretical treatments of the notion of an

everyday aesthetic, to reflections on the aesthetics of everyday built spaces, to specific analyses of different everyday activities, such as sport, eating, and the experience of weather. While the work of philosophers, all of the authors take up their subject matter in an interdisciplinary

context and write in a style that is generally accessible for a broad audience. The volume

contains contributions from both North American and European scholars, including premiere writers on aesthetics from England, Finland and Germany. Students will find the perspective of the volume particularly appealing because it is concerned with commonly encountered objects, accessible to all

Coming from Europe, this new environment was absolutely unfamiliar to them, and they regarded the sandy dunes, the desert and the swamps as a threat. They therefore romanticized it and their relationship to it, as is done by children who are afraid of witches, fire, and so forth. They claimed that the reunion of the Jewish soil with the Jewish soul would emancipate the Jews from their bourgeois character. The second interpretation was "conquering" the new environment, which was a way of making it more familiar and human-friendly. The environment which has been described as "nothingness," "emptiness," "desolation," had to be "made to flourish" and "civilized." Zionism adopted different interpretation of the environment in order to create a new type of Jew, or to prove that Zionism was right. A third possibility, now arising, may be to appreciate the environment more objectively, but it is not yet clear whether the environment can be treated non-politically. de-Shalit teaches politics at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

Tiberghien, Gilles, Land Art. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 1995. 311 pages. ISBN 1-56898-040-X. Originally published in French, ƒditions CarrŽ, 1993 under ISBN 2-908393-18-2. A coffee table size and style book detailing earthworks, photographs, sketches, with accompanying text, interpretation, criticism. "In seeking to find new parameters that allow a definition of what art is, the Land Art artists have produced new objects. Their move away from museums and galleries is also a desire to reinvent art, in a certain sense. But moving away from these spaces is also extending them. ... In using earth as a medium and material, they have not attempted to make nature into a new museum, ... Land Art is not primarily an art of landscape. ... The earth, dirt, on the other hand, with its power of provocation (simply from the troubling effect of its presence) ... is what gives Land Art acts their radicalism. ... The deserts, the quarries, the abandoned mines, the distant plains, and the mountainous summits give us the sense of a world where art takes on a new meaning, where museums disappear, and humanity is eclipsed."

In the particular course that considered positive aesthetics as its special topic, I introduced that topic using my "Nature and Positive Aesthetics," Environmental Ethics 6 (1984) and for the remainder of the course assigned sets of articles, which either developed the positive aesthetics position or called it into question. This also provided the opportunity for consideration of the overall positions of the authors. The sets were: 1. Two recent attempts to use positive aesthetics in relation to environmental ethics: Gene Hargrove, "An Ontological Argument for Environmental Ethics," Chapter 6, Foundations of Environmental Ethics, (Prentice Hall, 1989) and Jenna Thompson "Aesthetics and the Value of Nature," Environmental Ethics 17 (1995). 2.
