Abstract

Zambrano argued that to think is to decipher feelings. Since what explains the success of landscape and heritage has sentimental roots, here we will try to elaborate a kind of reflection on the feelings involved in both. Before showing how we can think about landscape as heritage from these sentiments, I will begin by referring to two emotions that gloss the eternal issue of landscape quite well. I am referring, on the one hand, to the attachment to the known place - topophilia - and, on the other, to the feeling of wonder at the new and unknown - neophilia. Only after presenting both will we understand how, in our opinion, it is appropriate to think of landscape as heritage.
