"…The Seasons offers a rewarding read that is fresh and relevant, interdisciplinary yet focused. Its central theme, the seasons, is new for many philosophers and therefore begins to fill a gap in philosophical research." — Environmental Philosophy"In a time of climate change, lack of awareness of weather patterns, and technological climate control in our homes and workplaces, this is an incredibly timely work. The collection of essays is original, valuable, and beautifully written. Not only did I enjoy reading them, I learned a lot along the way." — Gerard Kuperus, author of Ecopolitical Homelessness: Defining Place in an Unsettled World
