Encountering Nature
Thomas Heyd
Thomas Heyd in ‘Encountering Nature’ argues that an attentive
encounter with nature is of key importance for the development
of an environmentally appropriate culture. The fundamental
idea is that the environmental degradation that we are
increasingly experiencing is best conceived as the
consequence of a cultural mismatch: Our cultures seems not to
be appropriate to the natural environment in which we move
and on which we depend in thoroughgoing ways. In addressing
this problem Thomas Heyd weaves together a rich tapestry of
perspectives on human interactions with the natural world,
ranging from traditional modes of managing human
communities that include the natural environment, in Latin
America, to the consideration of poetic travelogues, ecological
restoration and botanic gardens. The book considers the
relation of human beings to nature in terms of ethics, aesthetics
and culture. It engages the current literature in each of these
areas with the help of inter-disciplinary approach. Hampshire:
