Heidegger raised my curiosity when he discussed ancestors and nature. This could also tie into Carlson and his belief that in order to have an appropriate aesthetic appreciation, one has to have scientific knowledge. But, back when our ancestors were here, science and technology weren't as advanced as they are today. There weren't as many resources or means of education on these things in nature or the geology of Earth. But, does that necessarily mean they were not capable of having an environmentally aesthetic experience? I believe that their experience would be different today in comparison back then but I do think it was possible for them to have an appropriate aesthetic experience.
