Reimagining the garden as a vital metaphysical framework for understanding the intricate relationships between health, well-being, and the environment, the book proposes a holistic, ecologically sensitive model that integrates mind, body, nature, and community.
The text offers the reader a transformative perspective that, transcending traditional dualisms, embraces the atmospheric sense of deep interconnectedness between individuals, communities, and the natural world. Through a blend of philosophical analysis, autoethnographic narratives, and cultural reflections, the authors, proposing a transgressive metaphysical model for personal and communal engagement with the processes of life, revise the idea of health as "lack of illness," redefining it as "flourishing." Such garden-inspired metaphysics promotes a dynamic, inclusive understanding of health, balancing modern medical approaches with a profound attunement to the rhythms of nature.
Atmospheric Health, Nature, and Well-being is an ideal resource for scholars, students, and other professionals in philosophy, environmental studies, health sciences, and cultural studies, as well as policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in innovative approaches to health, well-being, and the environment.
