On an Ungrounded Earth: Towards a New Geophilosophy

Ben Woodard

4.9/5 (16566 ratings)

Description:For too long, the Earth has been used to ground thought instead of bending it; such grounding leaves the planet as nothing but a stage for phenomenology, deconstruction, or other forms of anthropocentric philosophy. In far too much continental philosophy, the Earth is a cold dead place enlivened only by human thought—either as a thing to be exploited, or as an object of nostalgia. Geophilosophy seeks instead to question the ground of thinking itself, the relation of the inorganic to the capacities and limits of thought. This book constructs an eclectic variant of geophilosophy through engagements with digging machines, nuclear containment, giant worms, decay, hell, demon souls, and xenoarcheaology, via continental theory (Nietzsche, Schelling, Deleuze, et al) and various cultural objects such as horror films, video games, and weird Lovecraftian fictions, with special attention to Speculative Realism and the work of Reza Negarestani. In a time where the earth as a whole is threatened by ecological collapse, On an Ungrounded Earth generates a perversely realist account of the earth as a dynamic engine materially invading and upsetting our attempts to reduce it to the ground beneath our feet.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
