Abstract

This essay applies Marion's notion of the "saturated phenomenon" to natural phenomena and suggests that they might be interpreted as "saturated" in Marion's sense. The essay also insists that such phenomena require interpretation, therefore providing a critique of some aspects of Marion's project. The author draws out the implications of what it might mean to interpret phenomena of nature as saturated and how this might help address certain concerns in environmental philosophy, in particular setting this paper in relationship with other issues raised in the same volume.
