Abstract
In this paper, I argue that a reconciliation between science and nature is possible by way of the role played by ecological sciences on the aesthetical and ethical appraisal of natural diversity. First, I show that the aim of science – namely natural sciences – is to dominate nature and contend that environmental ethics was founded to support nature’s protection from the perils of science. I then show that when environmental ethics is supported by environmental aesthetics, a different role may be assigned to science. I start by building on Allen Carlson’s philosophical aesthetics to show that the aesthetical appraisal of nature requires a scientific understanding of the ecological processes. Finally, I refer to Holmes Rolston’s environmental ethics to show how nature’s ethical value may arise from Carlson’s peculiar aesthetic evaluation.
In questo articolo sostengo che, per mezzo del ruolo svolto dalle scienze ecologiche nella valutazione estetica ed etica della diversità naturale, sia possibile una riconciliazione tra scienza e natura. In primo luogo mostro che l’obiettivo della scienza – più precisamente, delle scienze naturali – è dominare la natura; e affermo che l’etica ambientale sia stata fondata al fine di supportare la protezione della natura dai pericoli derivanti dalla scienza. Mostro quindi che quando l’etica ambientale sia supportata dall’estetica ambientale, è possibile assegnare alla scienza un ruolo differente. Basandomi soprattutto sull’estetica filosofica di Allen Carlson, argomento che l’apprezzamento estetico della natura richiede una comprensione scientifica dei processi ecologici e, infine, faccio riferimento all’etica ambientale di Holmes Rolston per mostrare come il valore etico della natura possa derivare dalla peculiare valutazione estetica di Carlson.
