(2014) Martin Heidegger on technology, ecology, and the arts, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Heidegger's view of nature is inextricably bound up with his view of how we relate to the world. In his later work, Heidegger attempted to retrieve a more primordial sense of nature in several different dimensions or aspects. These dimensions of nature, inseparable from our interaction with it, are identified from his writings: Nature as underlying essence; Nature as self-emerging life; Nature as physical matter on the earth; and Nature as cosmological home. The relationship between each of these conceptions of nature and our being-in-the-world with nature, which in the later writings is termed dwelling, is explained with reference to the everyday practice of walking.
