Stone abides.  It instantiates the solidity of the earth underneath our feet.  It endures.  Or does it too evolve and change into something else?  The following images represent some of the examples that you will find discussed in Macauley’s interstice on Stone.  Chose an image to offer a comment upon.  What does stone connote to you?

The Four Elements

Posted on September 10, 2020 by wcturgeon

As we begin our journey around the natural world by visiting/revisiting aspects of the physical world, we start with the introduction and chapter 1 of Elemental Philosophy.

For our week we will explore the associations of fire, earth, air, and water as we find them in the first chapter.   Think about:

1. Which element represents you best?

2. Choose a favorite landscape, a place that you love most of all and find a photo of it to share.

3. Which ideas of those four basic aspects of nature  interested you the most?
philosophical connections
religious associations
scientific categories
the historical and cultural adaptations and relations
the environmental implications
other?
