In her description of these moments, Woolf gives us access to a world in motion and process; where all of nature and matter flows, ripples, and quivers. In these moments, the anthropocentric division between humans and nature dissolves into metastable patterns—without essences or vital forces. Matter becomes dynamic, and what originally appeared solid is perceived as woven, porous, and fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Philosophy of Virginia Woolf\u003c\/em\u003e begins by defining the basic idea of the moment of being, why it is important, and how to understand it and its philosophical implications. It recounts a series of 14 'moments', each of which explores an aspect of Woolf's philosophy. They show how the moments evolve and articulate Woolf’s process philosophy of movement. Each moment reveals unique aspects of how moments work and the kind of philosophical vision Woolf held.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNail concludes by addressing some of the ethical and political consequences of these moments in Woolf’s thinking. In the end, the book contends that Woolf offers us an absolutely unique philosophical and aesthetic understanding of phenomena, including nature, culture, desire, gender, writing\/reading, consciousness, art, ecology, and sensation. It shows that Woolf is a philosopher in her own right, and held a unique philosophical position that makes a unique contribution to how to think in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000806490348,"sku":"9781350526051","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23172793482668.jpg?v=1763306320"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/prof-thomas-nail.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
