Nature as event : the lure of the possible

by Didier Debaise, Michael Halewood

This philosophical study examines the divisions between human and nonhuman existence, proposing a pluralistic approach to nature. It explores how subjectivity and value might be attributed to all beings, drawing on the work of William James and Alfred North Whitehead.
