What would the world be like if there were no places? Our lives
are so place-oriented that we cannot begin to comprehend the loss
of locality. Indeed, the space we occupy has much to do with what
and who we are. Yet, despite the pervasiveness of place in our
everyday lives, philosophers have neglected it.
Since its publication in 1993, Getting Back into Place has been
recognized as a pioneering study of the importance of place in
people's lives. This edition includes new material that reflects on
the development of the field of environmental philosophy and
presents Edward S. Casey's current thinking on place and home in
our increasingly troubled world.
