Sumario:In this article we present the main lines of determination of Arnold Berleant’s aesthetic approach, as well as the objections raised by environmental philosopher Holmes Rolston III. Since this approach is an emotivist perspective, Berleant’s conceptualization does not provide an aesthetic of nature with ethical meaning, thus penalizing the dialogue between aesthetic appreciation and action. However, in our view, the appreciator’s sensitive dimension portrayed here constitutes a valuable perspective on the multidimensionality of the aesthetic experience of nature and, therefore, a fundamental contribution that must be integrated and affirmed in the correlation between environmental aesthetics and ethics.
