In the focus of Aesthetics of Nature are the basic concepts of our experience of nature, the beauty, the picturesque, and the sublime. One part of the book deals with the relationship between aesthetic and moral sense which are considered as virtues. In that part of the book we are giving the answer to the question whether the man who has the aesthetic sense for natural beauty should have also moral sense for good. We are defending the thesis that our aesthetic reactions to the natural beauty are more tightly connected with the realization of our freedom than the taste for art.

The focus of the paper is the conditions under which an agent can be justifiably held responsible or liable for the harmful consequences of his or her actions. Kant argued that as long as the agent fulfills his or her moral duty, he or she cannot be blamed for any potential harm that might result from his or her action, no matter how foreseeable these may (have) be(en). I argue against this.
