What if Nature Wasn't an 'It'?
About this episode
The episode explores the intersection of animacy and animism through the works of Robin Wall Kimmerer and Martin Buber.
I’m still entranced by Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass and am thinking about how animacy/animism dovetails with a concept from philosopher Martin Buber. He wrote a book called I and Thou, which I haven’t read, and I only conducted a cursory search on the internet about it, so my apologies to the philosophy nerds who know way more about this than I do.
