You cannot put the wind in a bag: How we learned to see nature




KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • In this week’s Mini Philosophy interview, I spoke with Robert Macfarlane about his new book, Is A River Alive? 

  • Macfarlane explores how language and perception shape our relationship with rivers, arguing for a reanimated and relational view of the natural world.

  • The book is both an ecological call to action and a personal invitation to reconnect with the rivers and natural forces that shape our lives.
