ECOLOGICAL AESTHETICS AND ITS DIMENSIONS

Abstract

The interaction with nature poses more and more new tasks, and solving them requires a broader vision of the aesthetic phenomena in the surrounding world and the enrichment of knowledge gained with new concepts and terminology. The revision of attitudes, values, socio-cultural goals, the importance of human rationality in relation to nature has led to the ecologization of the aesthetic awareness and the emergence of ecological aesthetics, a discipline focused on new areas of knowledge that expresses the evolution of aesthetic / ecological thinking today. Addressing the specifics, tasks and concerns of ecological aesthetics is the subject of the current study
