In the end, we will all think it is beautiful or not depending on our own perspectives and experiences. However, as in Kant's Categorical Imperative (Kant's ethical framework), we wish that other make the same aesthetic observations as we do.
The problems that seems to arise with environmental aesthetics are the complexities of the aesthetic in relation to the ethical responsibility attached to the preservation of that. There are more repercussions for not agreeing on the worth of natural beauty. If not everyone agrees in the sanctity of "ugly" landscapes, then what makes them worth preserving? I am excited to discuss the many perspectives to understand and solve the problems that arise in making this distinction.
