Books by Arnold Berleant

The essays collected in Aesthetics and Environment comprise a set of variations on art and culture guided by the theme of environment. The essays deal with the physical reality of environment such as the city, the shore, the water and the garden, but also with the virtual environment and the social one.

Taking the view that aesthetics is a study grounded in perception, this volume includes essays that exhibit many sides of the perceptual complex that is the aesthetic field and develops them in different ways.
