“…I agree to a certain extent with general anti-formalist arguments, such as those proposed by Parsons and Carlson, that hinge on the claim that engagement is the appropriate way to appreciate nature aesthetically and that 'framing' produces forms that involve artificial imposition (e.g. Parsons and Carlson, 2004). The difference is that a focus on the perceptual sense of movement reveals it as primarily open-ended, incomplete, lived or 'wild' sense-making in which the animal expressively responds to its environment, and it is perceptual engagement with that primary sense of movement that reveals that animal and its world to me for appreciation.…”

“…Understanding it in this way, however, ultimately trivializes the view. Scientific cognitivists want to claim that scientific understanding provides us with an aesthetic appreciation that is deeper and more significant than appreciation that is uninformed by science, and that scientific knowledge can guide and shape appreciation, determining what Allen Carlson calls 'foci of aesthetic significance' in nature (2000, 51; see also Parsons and Carlson, 2004). But if we reject, as aesthetically irrelevant, all theoretical scientific knowledge, this claim loses any substance.…”
