Duquesne Studies in Phenomenology
Abstract
In this brief article, I single out two distinctly different kinds of natural place, attempting to show how these not merely contrast with each other but display larger patterns or tendencies that are also found in many other sorts of place. This is to take one integral step to a larger ecology of places provided by the natural world and from which human and nonhuman beings draw life and motion that sustain and support many ways of existing on earth. Without such places, we—and every other form of life—would perish or would not even exist to begin with. It is time that we reckon more fully with the places that nature provides, and if we do so, we shall find ourselves face-to-face, body-to-body, with a natural world that is an atmospheric whole that has its own unique affective tenor.
