Abstract
This thesis considers Merleau-Ponty’s concepts of nature and intercorporeality in order to develop an embodied model for the contemporary environmental aesthetics. The first chapter provides an outline of the contemporary debate within environmental aesthetics. The second chapter clarifies the husserlian background in Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. The third chapter analyzes the concept of bodily experience and nature within Merleau-Ponty’s works and underlines their relevance for the contemporary debate. The fourth and last chapter is elaborates an embodied account, phenomenologically oriented, of our experience of nature.
