Description: Didier Debaise brings Alfred North Whitehead's philosophies of nature to bear on the Anthropocene, creating a new theory of nature that does not recognize a divide between the human and nonhuman, a theory in which all organisms have the power to unleash potential into the world.
Review Quotes: "The takeaway of Debaise's careful analysis is a robust and persuasive understanding of the ontology of affect, and affect as valuation-the feeling of the world in its allness and being moved by it according to what is of interest and importance to the societies we are and are becoming."--M. Gail Hamner "affecognitive"
