Description
Book SynopsisHow are we to think and act constructively in the face of today's environmental and political catastrophes? Gail Stenstad finds answers in the thought of German philosopher Martin Heidegger. Stenstad's writing enacts Heidegger's transformative way of thinking; and brings new insight into contemporary environmental, political, and personal issues.
Trade ReviewExtraordinarily original Not a work of commentary but a living philosophy, readable, bold, yet careful. - Ladelle McWhorter, editor of Heidegger and the Earth: Essays in Environmental Philosophy ""The most original and thoughtful work I have read on Heidegger in a decade.... Nothing like it exists in print. Stenstad does the seemingly impossible: sets a precedent for scholars to re-personalize thought by grounding it in questions of self-transformation while [also] reaching a general audience.... It's a remarkable feat."" - Patricia J. Huntington, author of Ecstatic Subjects, Utopia, and Recognition
