Carlson and Foltz have different views of how nature should be viewed. Carlson says that you need to have knowledge of the environment and how it works, while Foltz says that you don't necessarily need that.  I believe that both views have merit.  You can look at something and see it as truly beautiful without really knowing how it works, but sometimes you look at something and see it as ugly and don't understand it. Maybe in that instance if you knew how it worked and had knowledge on it then you would find it beautiful instead of ugly. It goes the same way where maybe knowing how and why something is that way or what it is makes it seem ugly. Maybe sometimes you just need to see things without really knowing to see them as beautiful.
