Title: Practicing mortality
Description: "This groundbreaking book takes us to the place where art and philosophy meet, and explores how they can shape our lives. Drawing on artistic and philosophical sources, both ancient and modern, Christopher Dustin and Joanna Ziegler describe contemplative seeing as an activity that can and must be practiced everyday - one that is not detached but participatory and experientially engaged with works of art and nature. Practicing Mortality develops the idea that art, or human making, yields an awareness of that which we ourselves do not make. To practice mortality, the authors argue, is to practice living as a craft."--Jacket.
