In the theory of beauty, the most well-known basic issue is whether the beauty is an objective feature of beautiful things or in the eye of beholder - subjective. Science is our best guide for the nature of the natural world. So knowledge of science should guide us to give an aesthetic response to nature. Since science is objective, an environment aesthetic guided by science will be objective as well. In this study, existing data collection method used to obtain data. We have said and discussed a little about approaches and samples about Aesthetic of Nature. We wanted to show different approaches and ideas from subjectivity to objectivity via "scientific monism" and "constrained pluralism". As a result, some aesthetic judgments of nature are indeed true or false, correct or incorrect, appropriate or not, but many aesthetic responses to nature are better or worse than others on very different causes.
