In Search of Lost Liveliness: Nature, Dominance, Sense of Heart - The Long Way to Friendship with Nature A Dialogue in Letters

In this eco-philosophical epistolary dialogue, the two authors engage in a captivating dialogue about the pre-civilisation foundations of our culture, about processes of alienation and about how we could (re)realise a being-with-nature. Many profound questions are posed: What have we actually lost by leaving nature? What does a 'disenchanted' world mean and what could be a core of animism that needs to be preserved? What role do structures of domination and power play in the loss of our connection to nature? Can we reduce our loss of the world and deepen our trust in nature? Does the path lead via visions and borderline experiences? Do we need religions and rituals? Or are opening our hearts and being able to let go more important?
