“The teenage prodigy of German philosophy gave nature its soul back, was eclipsed by his old college roommate Hegel, fell largely silent for forty years — and in that silence dug up questions that existentialism, psychology, and ecology are still working through.”

“Nature is not a dead machine but "slumbering spirit" — mind and nature are two poles of one living reality, and human freedom, including the real capacity for evil, is where that reality wakes up and looks at itself.”
