In his writings, particularly Art as Experience (1934), Dewey insists on the primacy of the environment in aesthetic experience. Dewey's conception of environment includes both the natural and the man-made. The World in Which We Occur highlights this notion in order to define "pragmatist ecology," a practice rooted in the interface of the cultural and the natural. Neil Browne finds this to be a significant feature of some of the most important ecological writing of the last centuJohn Dewey, pragmatist ecology, and American ecological writing in the twentieth centuryHuman ecology in literatureHuman ecologyPhilosophyHuman ecology in literature.Human ecologyPhilosophy.810.9/36Browne Neil W1658633MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807891503321The world in which we occur4012777UNINA
