The beauty of nature: The end of beauty's connection with proportionality and usefullness in modern aesthetics
Original language description
The history of the changing meaning of one of the most important aesthetic terms (beauty) and its connection with the appreciation of nature. The idea of beauty was traditionally (in antiquity as well as in medieval and Renaissance aesthetics) connectedwith regularity, proportion and usefulness, utility, etc. In this text, we would like to show that this connection had already begun to change during the 18th century and that these changes in the aesthetic field (E. Burke, W. Gilpin, I. Kant) were basedon an appreciation of nature. These thinkers aesthetic texts were also very influential on the attitude held towards landscape or natural scenery by tourists or wanderers and artists.

Kapitola k historii koncepce pojmu krásy v novověku, která byla tradičně byla tato kategorie spojována se symetrií, užitečností, vhodností. V novověké estetice (Burke, Kant, Gilpin) bylo toto spojení zrušeno, a to na základě argumentace založené na našemvnímání přírody, resp. krajiny. tyto texty pak ovlivnily jak turistiku, tak třeba některé koncepce ochrany přírody.
