Aprašymas

We have by stages become disconnected from nature, from the seasons, from the once routine ways we interacted with the land, and this disconnection is undoubtedly bound up with manifold disorders of our time and their ever worsening social consequences. In response, Sebastian Morello undertakes to re-induct us into the natural world. In reflections on our contemporary condition that are as humorous as they are devastating, he leads us from hilltop hiking to deer stalking, from archery to mushroom hunting, and much else besides. Along the way, we encounter both nature's beauty and its ferocity. As much a guide to outdoorsmanship as a philosophical examination of the challenges we face amid the rise of the technological age, Woodland Philosophy maps out an escape from virtual reality and back to the natural world, to God's creation, wherein-as we discover-we stand in the nave of a vast cosmic cathedral.
