{"product_id":"amor-mundi-and-overcoming-modern-justin-pack-9781498591348","title":"Amor Mundi and Overcoming Modern World Alienation","description":"\u003cp\u003eLove in many premodern cultures extended to and permeated the world or even the cosmos, but love in contemporary consumerist society tends to be sexualized, romanticized, and individualized. As a result, ancient visions of ethical love are difficult for moderns to comprehend, especially those rooted in premodern Western thought, or Native American thinkers that describe a love of the natural world that would help us live more responsibly on the Earth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume retrieves the significant narratives of love of the world and the concomitant ethical ramifications of those visions and argues that our age of science and technology has destroyed the ancient, living cosmos of previous visions and replaced it with a mechanical universe. This shift has resulted in various forms of destruction, diminishment, and forgetfulness. Overcoming modern world alienation requires recovering a sense of what it means to love the world and changing our practices to reflect our interconnection with it and our interdependency on it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justin Pack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498591345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498591348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Justin Pack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48622865318143,"sku":"9781498591348","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/amor-mundi-and-overcoming-modern-justin-pack-9781498591348","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
