55The Retrieval of the Beautiful: Thinking Through Merleau-Ponty's AestheticsNorthwestern University Press. 2009.In this elegant new study Galen Johnson retrieves the concept of the beautiful through the framework of Merleau-Ponty’s aesthetics. Although Merleau-Ponty seldom spoke directly of beauty, his philosophy is essentially about the beautiful. In Johnson’s formulation, the ontology of Flesh as element and the ontology of the Beautiful as elemental are folded together, for Desire, Love, and Beauty are part of the fabric of the world’s element, Flesh itself, the term at which Merleau-Ponty arrived to r…Read more

44Forest and PhilosophyEnvironmental Philosophy 4 (1-2): 59-75. 2007.This paper initiates a phenomenological study of the aesthetics of forest and wood in three main phases. First, we consider the modalities of wood’s sensuousness and argue against the formalist tradition that restricts aesthetic appreciation to visual forms.

Third, we engage in reflections on the communities gathered by the first and second lives of trees. These themes outline an aesthe…Read more
