At bottom, preventing this sixth extinction is a spiritual\/philosophical problem, for it is the assumptions defining us and our relation to earth that are driving the devastation. Those assumptions insist on a fundamental separation of human and earth that devalues earth and enables our exploitative relation to it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWild Mind, Wild Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, David Hinton explores modes of seeing and being that could save the planet by reestablishing a deep kinship between human and earth: the insights of primal cultures and the Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism of ancient China. He also shows how these insights have become well-established in the West over the last two hundred years, through the work of poets and philosophers and scientists. This offers marvelous hope and beauty--but like so many of us, Hinton recognizes the sixth extinction is now an inexorable and perhaps unstoppable tragedy. And he reveals how those primal\/Zen insights enable us to inhabit even the unfurling catastrophe as a profound kind of liberation. \u003ci\u003eWild Mind, Wild Earth\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable and revitalizing journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hinton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1645471470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645471479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.43w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/05\/2022","brand":"David Hinton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981359120639,"sku":"9781645471479","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30a1f154-1500-4bcf-bdcb-a248b20628db.jpg?v=1683255129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wild-mind-wild-earth-david-hinton-9781645471479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
