Abstract
This article highlights the importance of aesthetic values for environmental ethics, in the current context of the Promethean degradation of nature. To this end, we examine in depth the thinking of different protagonists of environmental philosophy (Leopold, Naess, Morin, Prigogine and Stengers) with reference to aesthetic values and analyze the role they play in the framework of their ecological proposals. The basic thesis is that aesthetic values allow grasping human experiences in all their complexity and uniqueness, without reducing them to something “universalizable”, highlighting the original relationship between human beings and nature.
