Críticas

From the reviews:

"Hub Zwart’s Understanding Nature is a project designed as a defense of epistemology reformulated as a comparative practice that conceives knowledge as a process undertaken by a range of disciplines and practices to apprehend the constitutive features of complex phenomena. ... the great strength of Understanding Nature is Zwart’s fascinating and provocative readings of philosophers, novelists, poets, scientists, and dramatists. ... it is a study of the limits and uniqueness of the perceptual vantages that give rise to scientific and literary forms of expression." (Christopher C. Robinson, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 22, 2009)
