Philosophical reflections on journeys and crossings, homes and
habitats, have appeared in all major East Asian and Western
philosophies. Landscape and travelling first emerged as a key issue
in ancient Chinese philosophy, quickly becoming a core concern of
Daoism and Confucianism. Yet despite the eminence of such
reflections, Landscape and Travelling East and West: A
Philosophical Journey is the first academic study to explore these
philosophical themes in detail. Individual case studies from
esteemed experts consider how philosophical thought about places
and journeys have inspired and shaped major intellectual and
cultural traditions; how such notions concretely manifested
themselves in Chinese art, particularly in the genres of landscape
painting and garden architecture. The studies present a
philosophical dialogue between Confucianism and Daoism on issues of
social space and belonging and include discussion on travel and
landscape in Buddhism as well as Japanese and Tibetan contexts.
Approaching the topic from an inter-cultural perspectives,
particularly East Asian philosophies, and using these to enrich
contemporary reflections on space, the environment, and traversing,
this unique collection adds an important voice to present
philosophical, political, and cultural discourses.
