Formal natural beauty
Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society 101 (2):209–224 (2001)
| Abstract | I defend moderate formalism about the aesthetics of nature. I argue that anti-formalists cannot account for the incongruousness of much natural beauty. This shows that some natural beauty is not kind-dependent. I then tackle several anti-formalist arguments that can be found in the writings of Ronald Hepburn, Allen Carlson, and Malcolm Budd. | |||||||||
