In this interdisciplinary work, philosophers from different
specialisms connect with the notion of the wild today and
interrogate how it is mediated through the culture of the
Anthropocene. They make use of empirical material like specific
artworks, films and other cultural works related to the term 'wild'
to consider the aesthetic experience of nature, focusing on the
untamed, the boundless, the unwieldy, or the unpredictable; in
other words, aspects of nature that are mediated by culture. This
book maps out the wide range of ways in which we experience the
wildness of nature aesthetically, relating both to immediate
experience as well as to experience mediated through cultural
expression. A variety of subjects are relevant in this context,
including aesthetics, art history, theology, human geography, film
studies, and architecture. A theme that is pursued throughout the
book is the wild in connection with ecology and its experience of
nature as both a constructive and destructive force.
