by Fritz Allhoff (Editor); Dan O'Brien (Editor); Foreword by David E. Cooper

From the rear cover
GARDENING PHILOSOPHY FOR EVERYONE
Gardens and contemplation have been closely connected since the dawn of philosophy, with many drawing on their beauty and peace for philosophical inspiration. Gardens in turn give rise to a broad spectrum of philosophical questions. For the green-fingered thinker, this book unearths a whole host of fascinating philosophical themes, including:
- Epicurus and gardens for happiness
- Plato and gardening as the care of the soul
- The philosophy of Central Park
- Kitchen gardens and the history of self-sufficiency
- The aesthetic and ethical dimensions of gardens
Gardening - Philosophy for Everyone proffers intriguing insights into the historical and continuing deep-rooted connection between philosophy and gardens.
