Raymond Calvel The Taste Of Bread Pdf Creator. English 2017 ISBN: 147 Pages EPUB 11,5 MB Engages the global ecological crisis through a radical rethinking of what it means to inhabit the earth. Meditating on the work of American poet and environmental activist Gary Snyder and thirteenth-century Japanese Zen Master Eihei D身gen, Jason M. Wirth draws out insights for understanding our relation to the planet's ongoing ecological crisis. He discusses what D身gen calls 'the Great Earth' and what Snyder calls 'the Wild' as being comprised of the play of waters and mountains, emptiness and form, and then considers how these ideas can illuminate the spiritual and ethical dimensions of place. The book culminates in a discussion of earth democracy, a place-based sense of communion where all beings are interconnected and all beings matter.

This radical rethinking of what it means to inhabit the earth will inspire lovers of Snyder's poetry, Zen practitioners, environmental philosophers, and anyone concerned about the global ecological crisis.
