The Way of Imagination

Written by Scott Russell Sanders

Narrated by Christopher Grove

Prize–winning essayist turns to the imagination as a spiritual guide and material method of living through climate disruption, as climate change and broad extinction forever alter our place on the planet and our lives together.
Scott Russell Sanders shows how imagination, linked to compassion, can help us solve the urgent ecological and social challenges we face. While reflecting on the conditions needed for human flourishing, he tells the story of his own intellectual and moral journey from childhood religion to an adult philosophy of life. That philosophy is tested when his first wife and then their son fall ill. Compelled to leave their beloved old house, they design a new one, and then transform their vision into a home and their raw city lot into a garden

Reviews for The Way of Imagination

[NoelReneCisnerosPeña · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Scott Russel Sanders ofrece una mirada esperenzadora sobre la capacidad creativa de los seres humanos, pero también advierte que a ella debemos el desarrollo que en última instancia ha provocado el desastre ecológico en el que vivimos. Ensayos eruditos, pero no por ello faltos de emocionalidad y sensibilidad.

[Oli Permaculture · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A timely, powerful series of essays reflecting on our culture and the impact it has on society. Inspirational, Sanders provides a call to arms to do more to help save our planet and live better moral lives. Bravo.
