Publisher's Synopsis
The main goal of Operative Traditions II - Nigredo is to present new alternatives for revolutionizing a more harmonic relation to the earth. In times of resource depletion, natural exploitation, pollution, global warming, pandemics and social distress, this 2nd volume of Operative Traditions aims to serve as an intellectual foundation that allows restoring a vision of the cosmos in which the human condition artistically recovers a traditional and archaic dialogue with nature. By resorting on the ideas of many extraordinary Western and Eastern thinkers, Miguel A. Fernandez presents the reader the cultural roots that have determined the crisis of today, and proposes a new vision of the relations that can be developed between humanity and the earth. In this vision, the earth is conceived as a living entity characterized with meaning. The discovery of this meaning entails a heroic quest for knowledge that boldly rejects the false cultural assumptions that impede creatively defining a harmonic relation to mother earth, and to enlighten her magnificent power.Miguel A. Fernandez is an industrial engineer, specialized in chain supply logistics, process modeling/simulation, sustainability initiatives, conservative/ethnographic projects and energy production consultancy. Miguel is author of several essays and novels that can be purchased in this website www.thesolarwarrior.com Cover Art: Scott Affleck www.scottaffleck.com
