Western science rests on the premise that the world is an inert backdrop to human presence rather than a communicative presence in its own right, one capable of dialogical congress with us. Mathews explores the transformative effects of a substitution of the latter, panpsychist premise for the former, materialist one. She suggests that to exist in a dialogical modality is to enter an expanded realm of eros in which the self and world are mutually kindled into a larger, more incandescent state of realization. She argues that any adequate philosophical response to the so-called \"environmental crisis\" cannot be encompassed within the minor discipline of environmental philosophy but must instead address the full range of existential questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Freya Mathews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791458075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791458075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 5.96w x 0.69d","brand":"Freya Mathews","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241096622335,"sku":"9780791458075","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a74e78c-5a0d-4684-8a43-df0f2455efb1.jpg?v=1772652697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-love-of-matter-freya-mathews-9780791458075","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
