Is the space opened by the landscape truly an expanse cut off by the horizon? Do we observe a landscape in the way that we watch a 'show'? What, ultimately, does it mean to 'look'? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this important new book, one of France's most influential living theorists argues that the first civilization to truly consider landscape was China. In giving landscape the name 'mountain(s)-water(s)', the Chinese language provides a powerful alternative to Western biases. The Chinese conception speaks of a correlation between high and low, between the still and the motile, between what has form and what is formless, between what we see and what we hear. No longer a matter of 'vision', landscape becomes a matter of living. Francois Jullien invites the reader to explore reason's unthought choices, and to take a fresh look at our more basic involvement in the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancois Jullien, Professor, Universite de Paris-Diderot and Chair of Alterity, Fondation Maison\u003cbr\u003edes Sciences de l'Homme\u003cbr\u003eFrancois Jullien is Professor and Chair of the Department of Oriental Studies at Universite de Paris-\u003cbr\u003eDiderot and Chair of Alterity at the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme.
