Who this is
“A bedridden viscountess with three decades of unrelenting headaches wrote one small book arguing that nothing in the universe is dead — and Leibniz said her philosophy came closest to his own.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Matter and spirit are not two different kinds of thing but two ends of one living continuum — everything that exists is life at some degree of density, and every creature, however fallen, can rise.”
