Landscapes and philosophy are deeply intertwined through aesthetics. Philosophers like Georg Simmel viewed landscape not as mere nature, but as a unified "mood" created by human perception, blending elements into an artistic whole (see Simmel's "Philosophy of Landscape": https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0263276407084465).In 18th-century thought, the sublime—evoked by vast, overwhelming scenes like mountains or storms—mixes awe and terror, highlighting human limits against nature's grandeur, as in Edmund Burke's and Immanuel Kant's theories.Modern views frame landscapes as cultural constructs reflecting power, identity, and well-being, bridging ecology, psychology, and ethics (e.g., https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/environmental-aesthetics/).Ultimately, landscapes provoke philosophical reflection on beauty, the self, and our place in the world.
