Reviews
This is a sparkling collection of essays by some of the liveliest minds writing today in the phenomenological tradition. They breathe new life into the complexity of our experience of Nature, connecting it variously with narrative, intensity, horizon, aesthetics, imagination, and above all relationality. Understanding our experience of nature relationally brings it powerfully into alignment with contemporary social and political concerns. With this volume our thinking of nature awakens to a new dawn. -- David Wood, W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy and Professor of European Studies, Vanderbilt University Nature and Experience is an important contribution to the ongoing development of eco-phenomenology and environmental hermeneutics. Grounded in a commitment to the relationality at the heart of the phenomenological project, this volume sparkles with insight on topics as varied as anthropocentrism, moral responsibility, metaphor, ecological imagination, environmental justice, and aesthetics-and does so in a manner that is eminently accessible. -- Brian Treanor, Charles S. Casassa Chair and Professor of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University
