Description

A philosophical journey through the ages and across continents. We encounter Epicure, Kant and Thoreau, as well as painters and poets.

Why do we find landscapes beautiful and why do they affect us so deeply? To address this rarely discussed subject, Alexandre Lacroix uses philosophical thinking, together with accounts from painters, poets, and thinkers, such as Descartes, Saint Augustin and Thoreau.

Page by page, we discover the reasons why nature fascinates us: it may be sensitivity linked to our temperament, or a mystical experience when facing a landscape, which opens the doors to the Absolute, or a cultural legacy.

The book provides the reader with the keys to perceiving more clearly the landscapes that surround us.

A fascinating study, which combines philosophy, literature, painting, poetry, psychology, and physiology.
