What is Aesthetics and Environment : Theme and Variations on Art and Culture about?

Berleant (philosophy emeritus, Long Island U.) continues exploring a theory of aesthetics in which creation, appreciation, performance and object are the main, and interrelated elements. In this set of essays on environmental and social aesthetics he explores specific natural and built (cultural) environments and cases, testing and expanding his theory, and realizing the significance of the human presence and human relationships on both. He describes aesthetic dimensions in environmental design and the coastal environment, the wilderness city, and in virtual space, and within culture, the social evaluation of art and subsidization as social policy, the ethics of art, and ideas about social aesthetics.
