Der amerikanische Philosoph Jonathan Lear wirft in seinem bereits 2006 im Original erschienenen Buch die Frage auf, "Wie weiterleben, wenn alles zusammenbricht?". Grundlage für seine Untersuchung ist die Geschichte des Stammes der Crow im Angesicht ihrer kulturellen Zerstörung. Was bedeutet es im Angesicht des eigenen Existenzverlustes, die Hoffnung zu bewahren. Ein wichtiges Buch!

Author

Margaret Cavendish (1623 - 15 December 1673) was an English aristocrat, philosopher, poet, scientist, fiction-writer, and playwright during the 17th century. She is praised for writing under her own name at a time when most women writers published anonymously. Her writing addressed a number of topics, including gender, power, manners, scientific method, and philosophy. She was the first woman to attend a meeting at the Royal Society of London in 1667, and she criticized and engaged with members and philosophers Thomas Hobbes, René Descartes, and Robert Boyle. She has been claimed as an advocate for animals and as an early opponent of animal testing.
