本文主旨在於論述園林與風景，在西方文化思想中，發展出不同的志氣理念，表達出互相對立的哲學概念，也指向截然有別的實踐，並且各自分屬於全然不同的學科領域。本文所探討的問題是，既然園林藝術明顯存在，是否也有嚴格意義的景觀藝術？如果景觀（或風景）既不屬於藝術理論，也不屬於藝術哲學的範圍，那麼景觀應歸屬於何種學科領域呢？

The paper’s stake is to establish that, in western thought, garden and landscape are developing different aspirations, expressing opposite philosophic conceptions, revealing separate practices and not completely belonging to the same disciplines. If there is obviously an art of gardening, may we speak of an art of landscape, strictly speaking? And, if we supposed that landscape does not belong neither to art theory nor to philosophy of art, then what field does it belong to?
