Human society has constructed many varied notions of the
environment. Scientific information about the environment is often
seen as the only worthwhile knowledge. This ignores the
complexities created by interaction between people and the
environment. Idealist thinking argues that everything we know is
based on a construct of our minds and that all is possible. Can
both be correct and true?
Interpreting Nature explores the position of humanity in the
environment from the principle that the models we construct are
imperfect and can only be provisional. Having examined the way in
which the natural sciences have interrogated nature, the types of
data produced and what they mean to us, this looks at the
environment within philosophy and ethics, the social sciences and
the arts, and analyses their role in the formation of environmental
cognition.
