Abstract
The main topic of the paper will be an introduction and analysis of the Johann Georg Sulzer’s views as described in his Dialogues on the Beauty of Nature (Unterredungen über die Schönheit der Natur, 1750), situating it within the body of Sulzer’s work, and highlight the theme of the aesthetic appreciation of nature which appears, albeit in a variety of contexts, throughout Sulzer’s works. From today’s perspective, Sulzer’s contribution is intriguing when considered in relation to the ideas of Enlightenment natural philosophy but also beacuse of similarities between Sulzer’s approach, based on the knowledge of environmental sciences, and Carlson’s environmental aesthetics.
