 The current research in environmental aesthetics that draws on the continental tradition and the extensive work on ecoaesthetics by Eastern scholars are examples of the globalization of environmental aesthetics. Recently there have been calls in both the East and the West for the globalization of aesthetics in general (Li and Cauvel 2006, Higgins 2017) and of environmental aesthetics in particular (Saito 2010, Yuedi and Carter 2014b). Such calls are vital to the continuing growth of the field, yet it is also important to note that, although work on ecoaesthetics within the continental tradition and its development in the East are relatively recent, environmental aesthetics itself has long had a global orientation. Since its inception, there has been interest in the field by a wide range of scholars exploring different philosophical traditions and/or working in different countries. For example, drawing on continental philosophy is not new to environmental aesthetics (Berleant 1985). Likewise, there was significant research on Japanese aesthetics of nature early in the development of environmental aesthetics (Saito 1985 1992 1996) which has continued into the present century (Saito 2002 2014a). Another example is the research produced in Finland, where a number of conferences were hosted during the 1990s and 2000s, each followed by a collection of articles, such as (Sepänmaa and Heikkilä-Palo 2005, Sepänmaa et al 2007). Similarly, several conferences have been held in China in recent years, to which Western scholars have been invited and from which have followed collections of articles (Cheng et al 2013, Yuedi and Carter 2014a). Similar collections have also published papers presented at conferences in Europe (Drenthen and Keulartz 2014) and in North America, from which papers are included in a recent special issue of the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism (Shapshay and Tenen 2018a). Another indication of the global appeal of environmental aesthetics is that many articles and books in environmental aesthetics have been translated from English into a number of other languages, including several European languages as well as Korean and especially Chinese, into which several of the basic Western texts in environmental aesthetics have been translated. Moreover, this global appeal is further evidenced by the prolific research in the field currently being published in several different countries and languages.
