Is it only through vision that we can perceive a landscape? Is the
space opened by the landscape truly an expanse cut off by the
horizon? Do we observe a landscape in the way that we watch a
'show'? What, ultimately, does it mean to 'look'? In this important
new book, one of France's most influential living theorists argues
that the first civilization to truly consider landscape was China.
In giving landscape the name 'mountain(s)-water(s)', the Chinese
language provides a powerful alternative to Western biases. The
Chinese conception speaks of a correlation between high and low,
between the still and the motile, between what has form and what is
formless, between what we see and what we hear. No longer a matter
of 'vision', landscape becomes a matter of living. Francois Jullien
invites the reader to explore reason's unthought choices, and to
take a fresh look at our more basic involvement in the world.
