I made this image from cut and paste pieces, with the two face/tree images from the cover of Four Arrows (aka Don T. Jacobs) latest book Point of Departure: Returning to a More Authentic Worldview for Education and Survival (see my blog post on his book a month or so ago, also see Photos where I posted the original book cover and compared it to one from 1984)... In reading Four Arrows' first chapter of this provocative book, I see so many things I am interested in philosophically, like how do we and how can we think about "opposites" and "complementarity" ... etc. This gets very tricky and complicated when he juxtaposes there are only two worldviews, the one leading us to disaster (the dead tree on the right) and one leading to growth sustainability and survival in a Green world (the alive tree on the left)... I won't say more at this point, until I read more of this book. I recommend it if you are at all interested in philosophy and education in the age of the Anthropocene (i.e., the anthropogenic effects of humans on the Earth and the current Sixth Mass Extinction already underway)... heavy stuff.
