Living Off Landscape: or the Unthought-of in Reason - Paperback

by Francois Jullien (Author), Pedro Rodriguez (Translator)

In giving landscape the name 'mountain(s)-water(s)', the Chinese language provides a powerful alternative to Western biases. 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.
