Life's Philosophy : Reason and Feeling in a Deeper World Paperback / softback
by Arne Naess
Paperback / softback
Description
Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess' meditation on the art of living is an exhortation to preserve the environment and biodiversity.
Now in his nineties, Naess offers a bright and bold perspective on the power of feelings to move us away from ecological and cultural degradation toward sound, future-focused policy and action.Naess acknowledges the powerlessness of the intellect without the heart, and, like Thoreau before him, he rejects the Cartesian notion of mind-body separation.
He advocates instead for the integration of reason and emotion - a combination Naess believes will inspire us to make changes for the better.
Playful and serious, this is a guidebook for finding our way on a planet wrecked by the harmful effects of consumption, population growth, commodification, technology, and globalization.
