How are we placed on Earth? What is our relationship to the world around us, and howlt; does our thinking affect the way we relate to the world? We are entrapped, says A. James Wohlpart, by what Martin Heidegger calls enframing, a worldview that considers all objects as mere resources for our use. Walking in the Land of Many Gods envisions a new way of thinking about the world, one grounded in a moral imagination reconnected to Earth.Insightful readings of three contemporary classics of nature writing-Janisse Rays Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, Terry Tempest Williamss Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place, and Linda Hogans Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World-are at the heart of Wohlparts endeavor. Powerful and affecting works like these reveal a pathway to a deeper remembering, one that reconnects us with the primal forces of creation and acknowledges the sacredness of the world.We have forgotten that the world around us is rich and fertile and generative, says Wohlpart. His exploration of these literary works, based on deep anthropology and Native American philosophy, opens a pathway into a new way of thinking called sacred reason. Founded on interdependence and interrelationship, and on care and compassion, sacred reason reminds us that divinity exists around us at all times. We are invited to walk, once again, in a land filled with many gods.
