Alles Fühlt

Więcej o książce

For centuries, science has claimed that living beings are controlled by reflexes and genes, and that our enjoyment of nature is merely an illusion. Feelings and natural science seem incompatible. However, biology is on the brink of a revolution: feelings are being rediscovered as the foundation of life. It becomes evident that all organisms are guided by powerful sensations that help them discern what is beneficial or harmful. Even simple cells adhere to values and act not as automatons, but as subjects. This opens new perspectives on the astonishing life processes observed by researchers. The mechanistic view that all living things are driven by selfish greed is increasingly losing validity. Animals and plants are more closely related to us than we thought, reflecting essential dimensions of our feelings that are vital for our emotional well-being. This leads to the critical realization that preserving nature is essential for our humanity and freedom. Andreas Weber conveys science through compelling experiences, using vivid, clear language that captivates readers and encourages them to reevaluate the world and their lives within it.
