It promotes a unique blend of deconstructive critique and a certain English skepticism, leading to the affirmation of a negative capability-a patience and vigilance in the face of both human folly and philosophy's own homegrown pathologies. The author argues for the extension of our sense of openness and responsibility to animal life, and indeed life in general, and not just to the human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791464636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791464632\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 05\/26\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.34w x 0.83d","brand":"David Wood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086863511807,"sku":"9780791464632","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63f71ce2-455a-4556-b50b-90275e0dec78.jpg?v=1769097017","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-step-back-david-wood-9780791464632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
