From Anthropocentricity to Zentrification: Twenty-six Ways to Spell Change,, by Joseph Coleman: a.co/d/eb7ZE5w
"From Anthropocentricity to Zentrification" is an evocative exploration of the shift from a human-centered worldview to a more interconnected and holistic way of living. It's a journey from anthropocentricity to Zentrification in a collection of twenty-six short essays.
Through the metaphor of urban renewal, Zentrification is presented as a philosophical hybrid theory that demystifies esoteric principles found in Zen Buddhist and Taoist traditions, making them accessible to the average reader in language that is both unintimidating and welcoming to readers across demographics.
This work challenges readers to move beyond narrow confines of self-importance and cultivate a deeper connection with the natural world. It invites us to put down the metaphorical sword of domination and pick up the flute of harmony with the universe.
In the author's words: "It is me carving my initials deep into the bark of the tree of life, below it the inscription, "I was here, and I tried.""
