Reviews

""Fresh and beautiful, Beyond Elemental Loss is the most fascinating philosophy book I've read in a long time. While other contemporary philosophers have addressed the elements, Oele is the first to frame them through the theme of loss, which, while distressing, is imaginative, effective, and truthful. Climate change leads to a sense of loss (of, literally, the elements), and in so doing occasions a need to rethink the meaning, experience, and theorizing of loss more generally. Eventually, this leads in the final chapter from loss to change and from powerlessness to agency, from hope to trust; brilliant. This book is a decisive, major contribution to environmental ontology."" — Brian Seitz, City College of New York
