SHARP IDEAS #1
NATURES: LANDSCAPES OF HUMAN INTENTIONS
We derive meanings from Natures. But can these meanings be intrinsic to what we might call a “bare nature”? Or are these meanings only ever self-referential to our species defining production of totems, divine revelations, or modern systems of scientific gaze? In other words, does our search for beauty and meaning in nature only reveal an inward gaze—landscapes of human intentions? Or does nature speak to us—and if so, what are its languages?
