Synthesizing ideas from some of the most eminent philosophers of modern times- ideas that have hitherto been given only a perfunctory examination- Vine Deloria Jr. juxtaposes Native American thinking with Western thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e One of Deloria's most controversial books, \u003ci\u003eThe Metaphysics of Modern Existence\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes that Native Americans have consistently perceived their realities experientially, confronting the reality of the experience, whereas Westerners often hold academic learning and theories above experience. This difference in perception and thought has had and continues to have very real environmental and political ramifications, not to mention personal and social consequences. Deloria's Metaphysics adroitly answers the often unasked question: what does an Indian think about the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vine Deloria Jr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1555917593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555917593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fulcrum Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Vine Deloria Jr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045936001279,"sku":"9781555917593","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1943ba38-0818-4133-8d7a-3fcb713a505c.jpg?v=1684981649","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metaphysics-of-modern-existence-vine-deloria-jr-9781555917593","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
