Sinossi
Paul Shepard has been one of the most brilliant and original thinkers in the field of human evolution and ecology for more than forty years. His thought-provoking ideas on the role of animals in human thought, dreams, personal identity, and other psychological and religious contexts have been presented in a series of seminal writings, including Thinking Animals, The Tender Carnivore and the Sacred Game, and now The Others, his most eloquent book to date.The Others is a fascinating and wide-ranging examination of how diverse cultures have thought about, reacted to, and interacted with animals. Shepard argues that humans evolved watching other animal species, participating in their world, suffering them as parasites, wearing their feathers and skins, and making tools of their bones and antlers. For millennia, we have communicated their significance by dancing, sculpting, performing, imaging, narrating, and thinking them. The human species cannot be fully itself without these others.Shepard considers animals as others in a world where otherness of all kinds is in danger, and in which otherness is essential to the discovery of the true self. We must understand what to make of our encounters with animals, because as we prosper they vanish, and ultimately our prosperity may amount to nothing without them.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Association copy, inscribed on the half title page: "For brother Joe [Meeker], with warmest regards, Paul Shepard." Uncommon signed. Also included is a near fine signed first paperback edition of Joseph Meeker's The Comedy of Survival: Studies in Literary Ecology (International College, Guild of Tutors Press, 1980). Meeker, who lived on Vashon Island in Puget Sound,was a PhD biologist who is credited with originating the idea of ecocriticism, which he first called "literary ecology" in this influential book, arguing that the dominance of "tragic" narratives has defined human's relationship to, and degradation of, the earth, and that a more playful "comic" narrative and mode could be a solution, a way to a better relationship. Thus a great association between influential environmental writers. Shepard is known for his wide-ranging contributions to deep ecological thought, especially the "Pleistocene paradigm," and was recognized with Guggenheim and Rockefeller grants. A very near fine book with a hint of dusting to top face of text block; in a fine jacket. Codice articolo ABE-1680586809650
