Description
Enlivenment Toward a Poetics for the Anthropocene by Andreas Weber presents an alternative understanding of our relationship with nature. German philosopher Andreas Weber argues that humans and nature exist in a commons of mutual transformation, rather than control over nature. Weber contends that there is no nature-human dualism, as all subjectivity is intersubjectivity. He proposes "enlivenment" as a way to see all beings in a common household of matter, desire, and imagination, where an economy of metabolic and economic transformation arises. This perspective allows us to move beyond Enlightenment-style thinking that strips material reality of any subjectivity. By supplanting the concept of techné with the concept of poiesis, Weber suggests that reality arises from the creation of relationships and continuous fertile transformations. This integrated freedom enables humanity to reconcile with the natural world.
