A fantastic interview by Seed Magazine with Stewart Brand about his new book Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto, which will be released on October 15, 2009. James Lovelock writes, "Stewart Brand's timely and down to Earth new book gives me hope that his wisdom will help us prevent the Earth system breaking as the economic system has done. The last things we need are more theoretical models or visionary hitech. This book is truly important and a joy to read. It is a practical guide to damage limitation and a sustainable retreat to a far more efficient society." Obviously I haven't read the book yet, but I'd be curious about a Heideggerian discussion of the ideas presented, as well as their relation to "Dasein".
