Veronika Krajíčková argues that in their respective fields, literature and philosophy, Woolf and Whitehead both criticized the materialist turn of their time and attempted to reattribute importance to experience and undermine long-rooted dualisms such as subject and object, the animate and the inanimate, the human and the nonhuman, or the self and the other. By erasing the gaps between these dualities, the two thinkers anticipated the poststructuralist thought with which Woolf has been anachronically associated in the last decades. Krajíčková shows that there is no need to analyze Woolf’s fiction via critical and philosophical theories that developed much later. This book demonstrates that Woolf and Whitehead’s ideas may help us adopt more ecologically friendly, selfless, intersubjective, and harmless modes of being in the present day. Both figures emphasize the intrinsic value and importance of each constituent of reality and teach us to appreciate the aesthetic values dispersed throughout our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Virginia Woolf and Process-Oriented Thought\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Woolf’s Conception of Things and the Relation Between Subject and Object\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Panpsychism and More-Than-Human Experience in Woolf’s Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Woolf’s Process-Oriented Identity, Intersubjective Selves, and Exploration of Community of Difference\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Woolf’s Criticism of Anthropocentrism and Exploitation of Nature\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Analogies Between Literature, Philosophy, and Real Life\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042039038295,"sku":"9781666942293","price":65.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666942293.jpg?v=1750952745","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/virginia-woolf-as-a-process-oriented-thinker-parallels-between-woolf-s-fiction-and-process-philosophy-9781666942293","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
