Places are today subject to contrary tendencies. They lose some
functions, which may scale up to fewer more centralized places, or
down to numerous more dispersed places, and they gain other
functions, which are scaling up and down from other places. This
prompts premature prophecies of the abolition of space and the
obsolescence of place. At the same time, a growing literature
testifies to the persistence of place as an incorrigible aspect of
human experience, identity, and morality. Place is a common ground
for thought and action, a community of experienced particulars that
avoids solipsism and universalism. It draws us into the philosophy
of the ordinary, into familiarity as a form of knowledge, into the
wisdom of proximity. Each of these essays offers a philosophy of
place, and reminds us that such philosophies ultimately decide how
we make, use, and understand places, whether as accidents,
instruments, or fields of care.
