About The Book

Nautilus Award Gold Medal Winner, Ecology & Environment

In Matter and Desire, internationally renowned biologist and philosopher Andreas Weber rewrites ecology as a tender practice of forging relationships, of yearning for connections, and of expressing these desires through our bodies. Being alive is an erotic process — constantly transforming the self through contact with others, desiring ever more life.

In clever and surprising ways, Weber recognizes that love — the impulse to establish connections, to intermingle, to weave our existence poetically together with that of other beings — is a foundational principle of reality. The fact that we disregard this principle lies at the core of a global crisis of meaning that plays out in the avalanche of species loss and in our belief that the world is a dead mechanism controlled through economic efficiency.

Although rooted in scientific observation, Matter and Desire becomes a tender philosophy for the Anthropocene, a « poetic materialism, » that closes the gap between mind and matter. Ultimately, Weber discovers, in order to save life on Earth — and our own meaningful existence as human beings — we must learn to love.
