Awakening Sentience in Nature, Science and selves.
John H. Clippinger
A Sentient Nature explores the deep interconnections between nature, science, society, and self. Blending philosophy, history, and emerging scientific paradigms, the book challenges the traditional mechanistic view of the world, advocating instead for a model that recognizes nature as sentient, adaptive, and interwoven with human consciousness. Drawing from complexity science, evolutionary biology, and Emersonian thought, the author examines how economic systems, governance, and technology can align with principles of sentient mutualism to create a more sustainable and just future.
