The eros of everyday life : essays on ecology, gender and society

In her award-winning examination of the nature of war, __A Chorus of Stones__, critically acclaimed author and feminist Susan Griffin showed new ways of thinking about society and war, about private and public lives. In __The Eros of Everyday Life__, she once again takes readers on a startling journey, showing the profound connections between religion and philosophy, science and nature, Western thought and the role of women, and the supremacy of abstract thought over the forces of life. Featuring the brilliant original title essay that is nothing less than an intellectual and emotional exploration of the nature of Western society itself, as well as Susan Griffin's best previously published essays of the past decade, __The Eros of Everyday Life__ combines the beautiful lyricism and sensibility of a poet with the intellectual rigor of one of the finest and most original minds writing today.
