Description: Bernard Palissy, a French Renaissance artisan philosopher, saw intelligence and consciousness across all forms of life soils, plants, animals rejecting human superiority long before modern environmentalism. Known for crafting ceramic ware, fountains and grottos for royal patrons, Palissy used his knowledge of earth and agriculture to develop a unique, sometimes controversial philosophy of nature. Unlike many of his peers, he celebrated animal wisdom over human hubris, a view resonant today. This new biography explores his work within the courtly world of his patrons and highlights Palissy's lasting influence on early modern artisan culture and our understanding of art, nature and intelligence.
