The agrarian mind (Berry)

December 20th, 2007  |  Published in Agrarianism, Science, Quotes

[The agrarian mind] prefers the Creation itself to the powers and quantities to which it can be reduced. And this is a mind completely different from that which sees creatures as machines, minds as computers, soil fertility as chemistry, or agrarianism as an idea.

–Wendell Berry, “The Whole Horse” in Citizenship Papers (2003), p. 118
