primal roots

Wanted to use Bruce Wilshire's Primal Roots of American Philosophy in the "Environmental Ethics and native wisdom" course, but it's too expensive in hardcover and unavailable in paper. (There is a cheap kindle edition. More evidence that our environment is going digital.)

Bruce Wilshire's book on addiction, obsession, compulsion... Wild Hunger: The Primal Roots of Modern Addiction. "These days our relation to wilderness is strained and ambiguous," a rediscovery of native roots is overdue.


Bruce's other "primal roots" book on American philosophy is very good, too, and will be useful when we do the Native Wisdom component of Environmental Ethics next Spring.
