Poetics of the Earth is a work of environmental philosophy, based
on a synthesis of eastern and western thought on natural and human
history. It draws on recent biological research to show how the
processes of evolution and history both function according to the
same principles. Augustin Berque rejects the separation of nature
and culture which he believes lies at the root of the environmental
crisis. This book proposes a three stage process of "re-worlding"
(moving away from the individualized self to become a part of the
common world), "re-concretizing" (understanding the meaning and
historical development of words and things) and "re-engaging"
(reconsidering the relationship between history and subjectivity at
every level of being) in order to bring western thought on nature
and culture into sustainable harmony and alignment. This book will
be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental
studies, environmental philosophy, Asian studies and the natural
sciences.
