“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Thinking Nature 2 CFP


Ben Woodard and I welcome your essays for the second issue of Thinking Nature. The topic for issue 2 is aesthetics.

Naturally (haha) we encourage essays to think as openly and speculatively as possible about the question of aesthetics. How human is the aesthetic? How bound up with sentience is it? Is even the human aesthetic dimension truly a human dimension? And so on.

Deadline: January 1 2012. Email me with your essay, or email Ben.
