Why did Marcel Proust have bonsai beside his bed? What was Jane Austen doing, coveting an apricot? How was Friedrich Nietzsche inspired by his thought tree? In Philosophy in the Garden, Damon Young explores one of literatures most intimate relationships: authors and their gardens. For some, the garden provided a retreat from workaday labour; for others, solitudes quiet counsel. For all, it played a philosophical role: giving their ideas a new life. Philosophy in the Garden reveals the profound thoughts discovered in parks, backyards, and pot-plants. It does not provide tips for mowing overgrown couch grass, or mulching a dry Japanese maple. It is a philosophical companion to the gardens labours and joys.
