CopyArnold Berleant in his scholarly story revealed us a very attentive and theoretically fundamental way of thinking the aesthetic and of aesthetic theorizing in depth. The base of this character of his works and ideas is coming from well-grounded historical reflection on the logic of aesthetic concepts and approaches that other theoreticians often evaluate as only necessary preparation to pass the university exam in history of aesthetics. Berleant very early and very clearly understood the value of historicity in aesthetic investigations. This quality is evidently necessary for keeping the energy of scientific growth in aesthetics and for settling new areas of aesthetic research. Berleant could be called one of theoretical leaders in this historical rethinking the aesthetic and it’s not occasional that he was among the key initiators of environmental aesthetics as a new sub-field of aesthetics. Here as well as we used to do it in the sessions of The 20th Congress on Aesthetics in Seoul (Dzikevich 2016) we want to offer a view on the role of contemporary art in solving current environmental problems.
