Human life is now far removed from its prehistoric origins, when humans dwelt deep within the forests and depended on them for their survival.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this important book, Vladimir Bibikhin, one of Russia’s most influential twentieth-century philosophers, argues that, although most humans now live far from woods and forests, our existence remains profoundly linked to them. It was Aristotle who first appreciated their primal role, even deriving his notion of ‘matter’w from the Greek words for wood and forest. As timber, the woods may be seen as inanimate material, but at the same time they also constitute a living ecosystem and the source of energy and life. By opening up this duality, the woods are transformed from simple matter to a living environment, serving as a reminder that we belong to the world of biological life to a far greater extent than we usually think.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Woods\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to students and scholars in philosophy and the humanities generally and to anyone concerned with the environment and our relationship to the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword by Artemy Magun vii \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 1, 2 September 1997 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 2, 9 September 1997 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 3, 23 September 1997 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 4, 30 September 1997 44\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 5, 7 October 1997 56\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 6, 14 October 1997 66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 7, 21 October 1997 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 8, 28 October 1997 90\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 9, 4 November 1997 103\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 10, 11 November 1997 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 11, 18 November 1997 126\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 12, 25 November 1997 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 13, 2 December 1997 147\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 14, 9 December 1997 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 15, 16 December 1997 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 16, 23 December 1997 172\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 17, 10 February 1998 184\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 18, 17 February 1998 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 19, 24 February 1998 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 20, 3 March 1998 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 21, 10 March 1998 227\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 22, 17 March 1998 239\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 23, 24 March 1998 249\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 25, 7 April 1998 259\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 26, 14 April 1998 271\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 27, 21 April 1998 283\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 28, 28 April 1998 292\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 29, 5 May 1998 303\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 30, 12 May 1998 313\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 31, 19 May 1998 326\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLecture 32, 26 May 1998 340\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary 352\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 355\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 383\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441790087448,"sku":"9781509525867","price":50.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509525867.jpg?v=1785025304","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-woods-hardback-9781509525867","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
