The Aesthecics Perception of Nature

Małgorzata Liszewska

Abstract

Sublime and beauty refers to an aesthetic values. The earliest extant determination of the sublime as a distinct conception is in the treatise ascribed to Pseudo-Longinus, but now supposed to be of earlier date (first century C. E.). In modern philosophy, it was given specjal prominence by Edmund Burke in his Essay on the Sublime and Beautiful (1756). Kant also distinguished sublime as a separate category form beauty, making it apply properly only to the mind, not to the object. Beginning from the eightis – the most spectacular return of the Kantian aesthetics in the twentieth century. French philosopher, Jean Francois Lyotard, is the author of this phenomenon. The author of Le Differend refers the Kantian category of the sublime to the avangarde art. In postmodernism, aesthetics of the sublime return to the Baumgartens definity of aesthetics, to lay particular stress on the apprehensive faculty.

In this paper I intend to present a sources of aesthetic perception of nature. Why is nature well ordered and so beautiful? Art is said to be the imitation of nature. Nature is the archetype of art. Humane artificial production is so imitate nature and reproduce a form as a formative principle of nature of this product in a abstract manner.
