Abstract Reclaiming Beauty in Times of Nature The reclaiming of beauty is a task that has been undertaken in contemporary thought, both within philosophy and art. Since the onset of modern philosophi- cal aesthetics beauty has had a secondary status compared to the sublime.yielding a concept of beauty that restricts it to the pretty and the agreeable. In modern art beauty has also not been seen as a primary goal of art, and even been considered artistically unimportant. There are many reasons for the devaluation of the aes- thetic significance of beauty. In modern philosophical aesthetics this devaluation has to do with the association of beauty with the feminine, and the sublime with the masculine. This idea of beauty derives from the association of art with the body and the erotic in ancient philosophy. In this article it is argued that the contemporary reclamation of beauty becomes evident in phenomenological descriptions of the enjoyment and experience of natural beauty. Enjoyment of beauty is here defined as an experience of a rela- tion to something that one cares for, and in that sense this conception of beauty evokes the erotic dimensions that were sublimated in ancient thought. On the basis of this notion of beauty it is argued that beauty can neither be understood as purely a subjective sentiment nor as the objective features of a beautiful object or landscape. Beauty is understood as an experience that consists in an aesthetic desire, not a desire to own and control the object of beauty, but rather a more positive desire to open oneself up to the moment of beauty and dwell within it.
