فلسفه باغ ها
از نگاه دیوید ادوارد کوپر باغبانی کردوکاری است که اگر با قوهی تشخیص حسی مناسب درگیرش شوید بیش از هر کردوکار دیگری تجسمبخش حقیقت رابطهی میان انسان و جهانش است. کوپر در این کتاب اندیشمندانه و تأملبرانگیز با روشی یگانه و مهیج در مفهومسازی نشان میدهد که چطور تأمل دقیق بر کردوکارهای باغبانی و فهم این کردوکارها میتواند باعث بروز نوعی مکاشفه در اسرار هستی شود. به گفتهی جان کاتینگهام، فیلسوف انگلیسی، کتاب فلسفهی باغها نمونهای ژرف و پرمحتوا از تأمل فلسفی است که نشان میدهد چطور فلسفه، با وجود تمامی نقدهای بیامان، هنوز میتواند به زبان بشریت سخن بگوید. اگر به دنبال درک باغبانی و رابطهی ما با طبیعت و هنر باشید و به فلسفه، باغها و باغبانی علاقهمند باشید، این کتاب پر از نمونههای روشنگر، نکات تأملبرانگیز و به لحاظ فکری بسیار چالشبرانگیز است.

An honest philosophy, asserted well.

Che nesso hanno Nietzsche ed Heiddegger con Cézanne e Bacon e con la Jekyll e Page? Filosofia, arte, natura e giardini si mescolano per creare un nuovo concetto; o semplicemente per comprendere ciò che è già?

A beautiful perspective on the purpose, meaning, and power of The Garden.
Cooper masterfully explores the ancient practice and it’s shifting significance throughout time. Eudaimonia, defined as a “life in accordance with virtue”, serves as a central theme of gardens, with virtue itself existing at the practice’s core.
Perhaps gardening is far more than the mere cultivation of nature, but may instead hold a deeply physical, mental, and spiritual connection. I myself have become fascinated with what makes gardening so powerful, and this book provides great insight into the role such art and nature may have to play.
Not an easy read, but I would definitely recommend it.
