The Art of Environmental Law: Governing with Aesthetics de Benjamin J Richardson

The Art of Environmental Law: Governing with Aesthetics

Autor Benjamin J Richardson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 dec 2019
Environmental law has aesthetic dimensions. Aesthetic values have shaped the making of environmental law, and in turn such law governs many of our nature-based sensory experiences. Aesthetics is also integral to understanding the very fabric of environmental law, in its institutions, procedures and discourses. The Art of Environmental Law, the first book of its kind, brings new insights into the importance of aesthetic issues in a variety of domains of environmental governance around the world, from climate change to biodiversity conservation. It also argues for aesthetics, and relatedly the arts, to be taken more seriously in the practice of environmental law so as to improve our emotional and ethical capacities to address the upheavals of the Anthropocene.

Recenzii

If your senses require a break from the quotidian bad news about our planet, I recommend this delightful book about beauty and environmental law.
Few law books have as many illustrations as this one, few draw together so many disparate strands and few inspire the reader to reflect as thoroughly on how deeply the way we think and act, and therefore how the law is shaped, is affected by perceptions of which we are usually at best only half-aware. It makes a persuasive case for paying more attention to aesthetics in thinking about the law.
This is a work of both breadth and detail, and in producing it Richardson blends the vision of a landscape artist with the focus of a miniature painter . The Art of Environmental Law truly is an impressive work . This is a book that will support multiple readings, for its richness is lost in a single turn through its pages.
Benjamin Richardson's The Art of Environmental Law is a fascinating overview that is remarkably readable despite its considerable length. Indeed, its greatest strength is its interdisciplinarity. Richardson draws on studies of environmental law and landscape management, biodiversity conservation, museum practices, advertising, ecotourism, environmental restoration, land art, and environmental activism, as well as philosophical environmental aesthetics. The result is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the many different avenues through which aesthetic values, broadly construed, can enter into the development and application of environmental law . For those working in the field, Richardson's call for the development of more effective means of adjudicating aesthetic disputes will be a welcome endorsement of the practical value of philosophical contributions to environmental aesthetics and conservation.
The Art of Environmental Law: Governing with Aesthetics covers a great deal of ground. Richardson artfully weaves discussions of broad and complex environmental challenges with personal anecdotes and interesting tales.
