Is nature important the human continuity and would we be able to survive without it, only viewing the aesthetic aspect of it and not the way it actually does provide us with life?
I do not feel that we would be able to survive with aesthetic beauty in the natural environment because there is a great peace and calmness which just looking at some trees or breathing in fresh air provides us. Just the visual aspect of nature is enough to provide a semblance which nothing we can create does for us. Additionally, a lot of art, literature, and music comes from the natural environment. For example, Antonio Vivaldi composed The Four Seasons and there are naturalist poets and writers like Walt Whitman, while, at the same time, Vincent van Gogh painted beautiful images of nature.
Human beings would not be able to survive and continue as a species without this visual, aesthetic beauty. I believe that there is a part of our brains which recognizes these aesthetic wonders and appreciates them so that we are more complete. Many people believe that aesthetics in art and nature are unimportant but I think that they are essential to life being continued. Something in our brains needs that aesthetic beauty and cannot simply live without it.
