Macauley, David.

Elemental philosophyearth, air, fire, andwater as environmental ideas /[electronic resource] :David Macauley. - Albany :State University of New York Press,c2010. - 1 online resource (xvi, 433 p.). - SUNY series in environmental philosophy and ethics.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Philosophy's forgotten four -- The topology of the elemental environment -- The flowering of ecological roots : Empedocles's elemental thought -- Plato's chora-graphy of earth, air, fire, and water -- The placeof the elements of place : Aristotle's natural household -- The economy and ecologyof the Aristotelian elements -- Domestication of the elements -- In touch with the sensuous world :the reclamation of the elemental in continental philosophy -- Revaluing earth, air, fire, and water: elemental beauty, ecological duty, and environmental policy.

"Bachelard called them "the hormones of the imagination." Hegel observed that, "through the four elements we have the elevation of sensuousideas into thought." Earth, air, fire, and water are explored as both philosophical ideas and environmental issues associated with their classical and perennial conceptions. David Macauley embarks upon a wide-ranging discussion of their initial appearance in ancient Greek thought asmythic forces or scientific principles to their recent reemergence within contemporary continental philosophy as a means for understanding landscape and language, poetry and place, the body and the body politic. In so doing, he shows the importance of elemental thinking for comprehending and responding to ecological problems. In tracing changing views of the four elements through the history of ideas, Macauley generates anew vocabulary for and a fresh vision of the environment while engaging the elemental world directly with reflections on their various manifestations."--BOOK JACKET.
