I am fascinated, and slightly confused, at the part where Hart is describing the world and how it "is not alive for us" in the way that it "cannot speak to us or hear us." Hart is describing how nature is indifferent towards humans, and kind of does its own thing. It truly acts on its own, separate from humans. I am kind of confused at his logic in saying that nature simply dwells with us and we "summon it, rather than the reverse" until we reach the point of a natural disaster, death, etc. How are we able to summon it, and where exactly is he going with that part of his argument?
I commented on Darby's!
I understand it as referring to the malleability of nature, or our ability to use it.
ReplyDeleteI was interested in the way he describes nature as well. I am not sure what he means by summoning it because we are helpless against it.
