It is a bare landscape with neer a touch of green growth. The place is Queenstown, Tasmania.
It 's history kinda makes sense of Heidegger's analysis of the completion or closure of metaphysics and his thinking of the age of technology in terms of the Gestell. The show the way that aesthetic experience and rationality can oppose, instrumental rationality and the technological mode of being.
Can aesthetics and meditative thought preserve a resource against technicist nihilism embodied in mining that destroys the earth?
