THE SOUL IN THE STONE - ASHLEY CURTIS GEBUNDEN

Everything is alive. If we believed this  we might treat our planet  other life forms and each
other rather differently. In fact  believing that Everything is alive might be the best thing
that we could all do  not just to save the planet  but also to enrich our own lives. But we
can't believe something just because we think it would be beneficial to believe it. We believe
things when we are convinced that they are true. And it seems to many of us that Everything is
alive is  well  obviously and blatantly untrue. With his new book  Ashley Curtis wants to
change this. In nine vivid and entertaining chapters he takes us on a magical mystery tour of
the assumptions behind both animist (Everything is alive) and non-animist (Few things are
alive) worldviews. Through playful encounters with philosophers and physicists  hunters and
shamans  talking trees and receptive rivers  our apparently well-ordered world of subject and
object  mind and matter  consciousness and inert material is turned upside down and inside out.
In the end we find ourselves in a new world  one that is not only saveable  but all the more
worth saving.
