Abstract

Jean-Marc Besse (France, 1956) is a philosopher by training. He is interested in epistemology and the history of science, particularly in the themes of landscape, environment, and geography. In “The Taste of the World. Exercises in Landscape” (Ed. UERJ, 2014), Besse develops a reflection on the landscape from different points of view, presenting contemporary issues about the concept of landscape - currently understood within a complex relationship with political and economic power and, particularly, with the urban project and the conception of the city.
