Description
Val Plumwood's personal experience with death and predation profoundly shaped her philosophical ideas. In 1985, she was attacked by a crocodile while kayaking alone in the Northern Territory, an event that left her with severe injuries. This harrowing encounter informs the first section of The Eye of the Crocodile, which consists of chapters on crocodiles that remained unfinished at the time of her death. The book also brings together previously published papers that provide an overview of Val Plumwood's thoughts on death, predation, and nature. These essays offer a unique perspective on cultural responses to these fundamental human experiences. Through her writing, Plumwood explores the intersections between philosophy, ecology, and personal experience, creating a rich and thought-provoking work. The Eye of the Crocodile is a collection of Val Plumwood's writings on death, predation, and nature, offering insights into her philosophical ideas and personal experiences.
