| Summary: | Loriliai Biernacki's The Matter of Wonder: Abhinavagupta's Panentheism and the New Materialism draws on Abhinavagupta's thought--and particularly his yet-untranslated, philosophical magnum opus, the Isvara Pratyabhijña Vivrti Vimarsin--to think through contemporary issues such as the looming prospect of machine AI, ideas about information, and our ecological crises. She argues that Abhinavagupta's panentheism can help us understand our current world and can contribute to a New Materialist reenvisioning of the relationship that humans have with matter.
