«Petit traité du jardin ordinaire» is the philosophical essay by Anne Cauquelin, published by Rivages in paperback (205 pages, in French).
Anne Cauquelin asks what a garden is: what space defines it, what temporal form it has, and what parts make it up. She distinguishes the garden from the landscape, avoids the model of “beautiful gardens,” and presents it as a mobile and unfinished object, subject to anentropy: the incessant task of rebuilding, patching, and restoring it from remnants.
Part of the Rivages Poche / Petite Bibliothèque collection (no. 499). Work originally published in 2003; this edition is from April 2005.
Aimed at readers of contemporary philosophy and those who want to think of the garden as an aesthetic and cultural phenomenon.
