Abstract
MERCHAN-BASABE, Javier Guillermo. Thoreau and the Mystification of Aesthetic Appreciation of Nature. Pensam. palabra obra [online]. 2017, n.18, pp.78-86. ISSN 2011-804X.
This paper studies aesthetic appreciation of Nature in Henry David Thoreau, seeking to reveal its practical consequences. We analyze his sense of the experience of wild beauty, his distance from the beauty of art, and his conception of Nature as a moral model.
Keywords : nature; wild beauty; mystification-rationalization; natural beauty.
