Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"For the environmental philosopher with little or no previous knowledge of Merleau-Ponty, the book would provide a challenging introduction to the multiplicity of interpretations of his thought, related, sometimes directly, sometimes tangentially, to the issues of environmental philosophy ... these essays all deal with lived experience of nature, or how it is that there is nature for us." -- Environmental Ethics

"I like the way that serious Merleau-Ponty scholarship and a rigorously phenomenological approach are paired with the practical concerns, often illustrated in concrete detail, about the environment." -- Phillip McReynolds, Penn State at University Park

Reseña del editor

This diverse collection looks at the contemporary relevance of the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty to environmental issues and builds a coherent philosophical ecology based on his thought. The contributors describe and analyze relations within the natural world by focusing on the centrality of relations in Merleau-Ponty's work; his concept of the bond between humanity and nature; and his novel philosophies of perception, embodiment, and "wild" Being.
