Is the space opened by the landscape truly an expanse cut off by the horizon? Do we observe a landscape in the way that we watch a 'show'? What, ultimately, does it mean to 'look'? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this important new book, one of France's most influential living theorists argues that the first civilization to truly consider landscape was China. In giving landscape the name 'mountain(s)-water(s)', the Chinese language provides a powerful alternative to Western biases. The Chinese conception speaks of a correlation between high and low, between the still and the motile, between what has form and what is formless, between what we see and what we hear. No longer a matter of 'vision', landscape becomes a matter of living. Francois Jullien invites the reader to explore reason's unthought choices, and to take a fresh look at our more basic involvement in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francois Jullien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Global Aesthetic Research\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786603388","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48794056556681,"sku":"9781786603388","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_88af7a67-f615-4df6-b4de-5a4f9c86dd96.jpg?v=1793145119","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/living-off-landscape-or-the-unthought-of-in-reason-9781786603388","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
