Weber Dr. Andreas - Matter And Desire An Erotic Ecology - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Nautilus Award Gold Medal Winner Ecology & Environment In Matter and Desire internationally renowned biologist and philosopher Andreas Weber rewrites ecology as a tender practice of forging relationships of yearning for connections and of expressing these desires through our bodies. Being alive is an erotic process constantly transforming the self through contact with others desiring ever more life. In clever and surprising ways Weber recognizes that love the impulse to establish connections to intermingle to weave our existence poetically together with that of other beings is a foundational principle of reality. The fact that we disregard this principle lies at the core of a global crisis of meaning that plays out in the avalanche of species loss and in our belief that the world is a dead mechanism controlled through economic efficiency. Although rooted in scientific observation Matter and Desire becomes a tender philosophy for the Anthropocene a poetic materialism that closes the gap between mind and matter. Ultimately Weber discovers in order to save life on Earth and our own meaningful existence as human beings we must learn to love.
