5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting application of Dewey's Aesthetics, July 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Experience of Landscape (Paperback)

In the first two chapters Appleton outlines a European history of ideas about aesthetics to answer the question: What is it that we like about landscape and why to do we like it? He then uses John Dewey's Art as Experience (1938) to develop analytical tools to use to propose and investigate hypotheses about why we like particular landscapes.

The approach might be useful in other areas such as architecture when the reason for asking the initial question is for the purpose of producing or locating a work of art.
