Cultural Landscapes - Religion & Public Life

Informationen zum Autor Gabriel R. Ricci Klappentext A dualism between man and nature has been a persistentfeature of Western thought and spirituality from ancient times to the present. The opposition of mind and body, consciousness and world has tended to obscure the ways in which humans are ecologically part of interconnected systems, some of which are obvious while others operate in hidden but life-sustaining ways. CulturalLandscapes explores the physical ways in which we are intimately linked to the land and the intellectual and aesthetic connections human consciousness has with the landscape.
