Bringing together contributions from artists, theologians, anthropologists and philosophers, it investigates the arts as an important contemporary bridge between culture and nature, as well as between the human and more-than-human world.

This book will be of interest both to students of the Platonic tradition, and to historians of natural science, metaphysics and epistemology.
