world day of interconnectedness

Freya Mathews argues that replacing the materialist premise of modern civilization with a panpsychist one transforms the entire fabric of culture in profound ways. She claims that the environmental crisis is a symptom of deeper issues facing modern civilization arising from the loss of the very meaning of culture. To come to grips with this crisis requires a change in the metaphysical premise of modernity deeper than any as yet envisaged even by the radical ecology movement. This is a change with profound implications for the full range of existential questions and not merely for questions regarding our relationship with "nature."

“Reinhabiting Reality offers a series of wonderful tales about the sanity that lies in the emplaced acceptance of imperfection, inadequacy, incompleteness, and danger that makes matter cohere into a world … Let this be an invitation to dialogue … within those radical ecology movements that have, temporarily, lost their way.” — Organization and Environment
