ABSTRACT

In the second part of this volume, I turn from the aesthetics of nature to a set of appreciative issues that arise, as it were, between nature and art. I address questions about the appreciation of landscapes, such as those of agriculture, which exist in the space between these two realms; I consider aesthetic problems that are generated by intimate relationships between nature and art, as in the cases of gardens and environmental works of art; and I reflect on appreciative issues that are posed by art forms, such as architecture, that fall near the boundary of art.
