Sobre IBD

Positing that the ’environmental question’ arises from the history of metaphysics, this book reinterprets Heraclitus’ notion of physis as the fundamental, emergent potency of life, thus deconstructing the interpretation offered by Heidegger and stressing the struggle between the creative force of life and its subjection to the human Logos.
