Jonathan Weidenbaum – författare

Explores a novel metaphysical vision in the American philosophical tradition and unpacks its relevance to a number of topics, including the relationship between sentience and nature.The Mind in Nature is a series of explorations within a contemporary and eclectic development of American philosophy. Centered around the work of Robert S. Corrington, ecstatic naturalism advances an ontological vision integrating the insights of transcendentalism, pragmatism, and religious philosophies East and West. Employing the methods of semiotics, phenomenology, and psychoanalysis, the plurality of disciplines at work in ecstatic naturalism reflects the diversity of its influences. The authors of this volume unpack the relevance of Corrington's writing for a number of areas, including the relationship of sentience to the cosmos, the role of chaos and nothingness in the nature of things, and the moral teachings of Leo Tolstoy. This volume is ideal for upper-level students and professional philosophers interested in religious naturalism, the philosophy of mind, and the unapologetically bolder approaches toward metaphysical speculation.
