Summary:
Today the human impact on our planet can hardly be underestimated. Climate change, population explosion, genetic manipulation, digital networks, plastic islands floating in the oceans. This book explores our changing notion of nature. How nature has become one of the most successful products of our time, much of what we perceive as nature is merely a simulation although a romanticized idea of a balanced, harmonic, inherently good and threatened entity. How evolution continues nonetheless. How technology - traditionally created to protect us from the forces of nature - gives rise to a next nature, that is just as wild, cruel, unpredictable and threatening as ever. How we are playing with fire again and again. How we should be careful in doing so, yet how this is also what makes us human.

Curieuse idée : un jardin construit selon des formules mathématiques, où la métaphysique est dissimulée par la perspective, l'épistémologie circonscrite par la géométrie, et la rhétorique accordée à la mobilité de nos corps. Le jardin à la française est une étude sur la perspective et une incitation au mouvement. Géométrisation d'une pensée, figuration du désir, il correspond, sous Louis XIV, à une théâtralisation du pouvoir absolu. Ce livre se veut, à sa manière, un "guide philosophique" des jardins à la française : Vaux-le-Vicomte, Versailles, Chantilly. Il est une invite à parcourir les jardins autrement, dans une optique philosophique qui rendrait encore plus vif le plaisir, sensuel, de leur découverte.

Our landscapes have never failed to entice and capture the imagination of writers, painters and philosophers – and in turn their work has influenced our landscapes for centuries. This carefully selected collection of readings and commentary expertly guides you through the aesthetic, social, cultural and environmental foundations of our thinking about landscape, and explores the key writings which shaped the field in its emergence and maturity. Provoking thought and discussion, this book does not provide answers, and will not conclude with an infallible theory of landscape. But with a range of readings from Vitruvius to Jellicoe, from Burke to Berlin to Berleant, from the Picturesque to Phenomenology, every reader will find something here to set them thinking.
