Research Essay Project: Eco-Consciousness & The Ineffable Sublime
Blake, Emerson, and Blackwood offer provocative perspectives on the mysteries and influences nature has on our self-actualization. Whether through ontological, spiritual, or deeply subjective inquiries, these authors inspire us to confront the sublimity of nature in order to substantiate a greater appreciation of life outside of our own and our symbiotic relationship to it.
For this research project, I would like you to examine the work(s) that most inspired you to seek, appreciate, and reinterpret the natural world that remains our most primordial influence. That is, I would like you to compile primary and secondary sources to construct insightful connections between our texts and research to develop a fresh ecological consciousness that aims to assert why nature may be able to teach us more about what it means to be human than we can ourselves.
