Earth Apology - Rasheed, Hassan

. .

Résumé :
Hassan Rasheed's Apology is an entirely unique work. At once an anthropology of the human race and its relationship with the world, it is also a philosophical treatise touching on the ethics of civilization, demonstrating an astonishing shift in pace as it builds towards a call to radically rethink the basic premise of our attitude toward nature. With its exquisite lyrical style, addressed not to the reader, but to the Earth itself, Rasheed achieves something exceedingly rare in this work: Apology somehow transcends the bounds of nationhood, politics, and religious frameworks to express a heartfelt human ecology capable of touching even the most hardened ideologue. A masterpiece. Alex Spring, Editor

Biographie:
The Price of Leaving Eden poses the question of whether to follow the laws of nature or follow our hearts and desires for freedom. It would seem easy to follow our hearts and desires but we are prisoners of the natural world and the laws if physics. It is presented that we are following our hearts and desires but, in the end, will be causing our own demise. Building monuments and wallowing in our glories is nature's way of fulfilling its ultimate destiny. A destiny that is in conflict with the author's hopes and desires for the protection and promotion of life on Earth.
