Patrick Curry Livres
Cet auteur explore la nature de l'enchantement comme une expérience humaine partagée, mais souvent négligée. Son travail s'entrelace à travers divers domaines, abordant la nature, la communion érotique, l'art, la divination et la spiritualité. Influencé à la fois par des théoriciens critiques et des figures littéraires, l'auteur aborde des questions de vérité, de métaphore, de phénoménologie incarnée et de post-sécularisme. Son exploration est profondément ancrée dans une approche interdisciplinaire, reliant la psychologie, la philosophie et les études culturelles.

What are millions of readers all over the world getting out of reading The Lord of the Rings? Newly reissued with a new afterword, Patrick Curry's Defending Middle-earth argues, in part, that Tolkien has found a way to provide something close to spirit in a secular age. His focus is on three main aspects of Tolkien's fiction: the social and political structure of Middle-earth and how the varying cultures within it find common cause in the face of a shared threat; the nature and ecology of Middle-earth and how what we think of as the natural world joins the battle against mindless, mechanized destruction; and the spirituality and ethics of Middle-earth, for which Curry provides a particularly insightful and resonant examination that will deepen the understanding of the millions of fans who have taken The Lord of the Rings to heart.
