Description
Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy continues to influence contemporary thought. This book explores how his ideas intersect with those of continental philosophers in the 20th and 21st centuries, focusing on key questions such as sustainable civilization and technology's role in achieving it. The author examines relationships between human and nonhuman entities, as well as among humans, and how these interactions shape our understanding of sustainability. By exploring the intersections of Whitehead's philosophy with contemporary thought, the book aims to uncover novel ways of thinking about what it means to be sustainable and to live in a civilization that is resilient for the future. Through this analysis, the book seeks to identify the "dislocations" within thought that can lead to new perspectives on how we act in the world.
