Abstract
While environmental aesthetics has made a remarkable contribution for its innovation to contemporary Western aesthetics, the paper argues that some problems with the contemporary environmental aesthetics include the undefined boundaries when expanding the domain of aesthetic objects, self-contradiction when expanding the dimension of aesthetic experience, and overlook of the inherent characteristics of aesthetics as a discipline when emphasizing the relations between aesthetics and other disciplines. The paper cautions that the balance between the traditional concepts and contemporary development is an emergent issue for contemporary environmental aesthetics.
