"New Visions of Nature" focuses on the emergence of these new
visions of complex nature in three domains. The first selection of
essays reflects public visions of nature, that is, nature as it is
experienced, encountered, and instrumentalized by diverse publics.
The second selection zooms in on micro nature and explores the
world of contemporary genomics. The final section returns to the
macro world and discusses the ethics of place in present-day
landscape philosophy and environmental ethics.
The contributions to this volume explore perceptual and
conceptual boundaries between the human and the natural, or between
an out there and in here. They attempt to specify how nature has
been publicly and genomically constructed, known and described
through metaphors and re-envisioned in terms of landscape and
place. By parsing out and rendering explicit these divergent views,
the volume asks for a re-thinking of our relationship with
nature.
