Synopsis Interpreting Nature by : Brian Treanor
Modern environmentalism has come to realize that many of its key concerns—“wilderness” and “nature” among them—are contested territory, viewed differently by different people. Understanding nature requires science and ecology, to be sure, but it also requires a sensitivity to history, culture, and narrative. Thus, understanding nature is a fundamentally hermeneutic task.

Synopsis Interpreting Nature by : I. G. Simmons
Human society has constructed many varied notions of the environment. Scientific information about the environment is often seen as the only worthwhile knowledge. This ignores the complexities created by interaction between people and the environment. Idealist thinking argues that everything we know is based on a construct of our minds and that all is possible. Can both be correct and true? Interpreting Nature explores the position of humanity in the environment from the principle that the models we construct are imperfect and can only be provisional. Having examined the way in which the natural sciences have interrogated nature, the types of data produced and what they mean to us, this looks at the environment within philosophy and ethics, the social sciences and the arts, and analyses their role in the formation of environmental cognition.

Synopsis Interpreting Nature: Situating the self by :
The 20th century saw the rise of hermeneutics, the philosophical interpretation of texts, and eventually the application of its insights to metaphorical 'texts' such as individual and group identities. It also saw the rise of modern environmentalism which evolved through various stages in which it came to realize that many of its key concerns - 'wilderness' and 'nature' among them - are contested territory that are viewed differently by different people. This title brings together leading voices at the intersection of these two increasingly important philosophical discussions.
