Rooted in place,sensing life:an exploration of Wendell Berry's thought on life community
Contemporary American nature writer Wendell Berry is renowned for his focus on place and advocacy of agrarian culture.His works reveal a strong sense of community and a deep contemplation of relationship between humans and the land.Berry's place-based conciousness is a unique expression of his ecological worldview,with a profound connotation of the community of life.The concept of place presented in Berry's works is a complete community rooted in the land,including human beings and non-human beings,suggesting that human,as members of the community,should care for the community in an equal manner.Berry strongly critiques the traditional anthropocentrism of the West and the deleterious effects of industrial overdevelopment of modern society on the community of life,and devotes himself to the environmental protection activities of contemporary American society with a radical stance.He also proposes a family farm-based agrarian culture to replace the agribusiness culture of the industrialized era,expressing a vision of post-pastoralism that revives the ideal of the American idyll.
