摘要

【摘要】迈克尔·b·吉尔对沙夫茨伯里伯爵三世的美学理论进行了深刻的研究，其核心是自然概念及其道德、美学和宗教分支。在这篇文章中，我将详细阐述Gill的一个主要主张，直到我认为存在一个弱点。这一主张涉及自然，其弱点是对沙夫茨伯里提到的科学(自然哲学)的解释。总的来说，吉尔认为沙夫茨伯里“不是理性理解自然的敌人，也不是科学的敌人”(44)。虽然我同意第一个从句，但我发现第二个从句有问题。我认为，对沙夫茨伯里来说，科学的一个核心问题是它破坏了自然的道德和审美统一，这是社会对自然和动物的普遍剥削所共有的缺陷。关键词:美动物科学披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。

Shaftesbury on natural beauty, science, and animals A philosophy of beauty: Shaftesbury on nature, virtue, and art , by Michael B. Gill, Princeton & Oxford, Princeton University Press, 2022, pp. 238, £35.00 (hb), ISBN: 978-0691-22661-3.

ABSTRACTAt the heart of Michael B. Gill's impressive study of the third Earl of Shaftesbury's theory of beauty is the notion of nature and its moral, aesthetic, and religious ramifications. In this article, I elaborate on one of Gill's primary claims up to a point where I think a weak spot occurs. The claim concerns nature, and the weak spot is the interpretation of Shaftesbury's references to science (natural philosophy). On the whole, Gill holds that Shaftesbury is “no enemy of a rational understanding of nature, no enemy of science” (44). While I agree with the first clause, I find the second problematic. I argue that, for Shaftesbury, a central problem with science is that it disrupts the moral and aesthetic unity of nature, a flaw shared by society's general exploitation of nature and animals.KEYWORDS: Beautyanimalssciencenature Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

期刊介绍： BJHP publishes articles and reviews on the history of philosophy and related intellectual history from the ancient world to the end of the 20th Century. The journal is designed to foster understanding of the history of philosophy through studying the texts of past philosophers in the context - intellectual, political and social - in which the text was created. Although focusing on the recognized classics, a feature of the journal is to give attention to less major figures and to disciplines other than philosophy which impinge on the history of philosophy including political theory, religion and the natural sciences in so far as they illuminate the history of philosophy.
