Charles Elliott
The Telos of Titchmarsh
A Philosophy of Gardens
By David E Cooper
Oxford University Press 184pp £17.99 order from our bookshop
This terrifying little book represents an attempt by a professor of philosophy to establish – what else? – a philosophy of gardens. None, he argues, presently exists. There is plenty of garden writing, discussion of gardens, theorising about what makes a garden good or bad, but no real philosophy of gardens acceptable to a critical thinker like himself.
