The Mind in Nature by Jonathan Weidenbaum

The Mind in Nature by Jonathan Weidenbaum

is a series of explorations within a contemporary and eclectic development of American philosophy. Centered around the work of Robert S. Corrington, ecstatic naturalism advances an ontological vision integrating the insights of transcendentalism, pragmatism, and religious philosophies East and West. Employing the methods of semiotics, phenomenology, and psychoanalysis, the plurality of disciplines at work in ecstatic naturalism reflects the diversity of its influences. The authors of this volume unpack the relevance of Corrington's writing for a number of areas, including the relationship of sentience to the cosmos, the role of chaos and nothingness in the nature of things, and the moral teachings of Leo Tolstoy. This volume is ideal for upper-level students and professional philosophers interested in religious naturalism, the philosophy of mind, and the unapologetically bolder approaches toward metaphysical speculation.

"The Mind in Nature constitutes an extremely valuable contribution to the field of philosophy of religion generally and the topic of ecstatic naturalism more specificallyIt engages insightfully with Robert S. Corrington's work and places that work in conversation with other relevant themes, figures, and ideas in a highly significant manner. This volume does in fact 'extend' ecstatic naturalism in ways that will be of great value for scholars within and adjacent to this tradition." — Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas
