| Summary: | Juxtaposing the ecological insights of Arne Naess and Eihei Dogen, Deane Curtin maintains that Dogen's metaphysical conception of sentience subsumes and corrects Naess's ecological Self and its problem of limits. However, an alternative reading of Dogen, one which deemphasizes the ontological status of the natural world in favor of how we epistemically view it, revitalizes Naess's question of limits and enables us to reappropriate the problem as our problem. This line of thinking forces us to rethink how we relate to the natural world. |
