Senses of Landscape: Comparative and Continental Philosophy

This book explores the diverse ways in which we experience and understand the landscape, drawing on a range of philosophical traditions from across the globe. Through close readings of literary texts, works of art, and philosophical essays, the book offers a rich and nuanced account of the sensory dimensions of landscape, and how they shape our understanding of place, identity, and belonging.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "The Senses of Landscape," examines the ways in which we perceive and experience the landscape through our senses. The chapters in this part explore the role of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch in our understanding of the landscape, and how these senses can be used to create a sense of place and belonging.
