I put my hopes for the future in such practice because it plants seeds of a lifeattuned thinking into the world that can help us to act in more lifeengendering ways. Craig Holdrege (from the foreword)In this groundbreaking book, Nigel Hoffmann shows that understanding the dynamic, living qualities of nature requires artistic capacities. He distinguishes four stages of scientific inquiry that correspond to the four classical elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Modern analytical science with its causal thinking can be characterized as an Earth mode of cognition. A dynamic approach that follows transformation over time requires a sculptural sense of form and corresponds to the element of Water. The stages of Air and Fire engage yet more vital aspects of nature through musical and poetic capacities.Combining scholarlyscientific acuity with artistic insight, Hoffmann first characterizes these four different ways of knowing. He then applies them, leading us ever more deeply into the dynamic qualities of specific plants, animals, and the landscape they live in. In doing so, he demonstrates how this fourstep methodology provides a comprehensive framework for the life sciences.This beautifully illustrated book will appeal to all who are interested in gaining deeper insights into nature.
