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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"The Week Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54038082158868,"sku":"cbl1789768934281","price":12.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/7627\/9316\/files\/matter-and-desire-by-drandreas-weber_1.jpg?v=1789768939","url":"https:\/\/straphemfit.shop\/products\/matter-and-desire-by-drandreas-weber","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
