Our attitude to nature has changed over time. This book explores the
historical, literary and philosophical origins of the changes in our
attitude to nature that allowed environmental catastrophes to happen. It
presents a philosophical reflection on human societies’ attitude to the
environment, informed by the history of the concept of landscape and
the role played by the concept of nature in the human imagination and
features a wealth of examples from around the world to help understand
the contemporary environmental crisis in the context of both the built
and natural environment.
This book gives a critical survey of landscape thought and theory for
students, researchers and anyone interested in human societies’ relation
to nature in the fields of landscape studies, environmental philosophy,
cultural geography and environmental history.
