About this book

The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World is an insightful exploration of the deep connections between traditional magic practitioners and their natural surroundings, including animals, plants, and elemental forces.

Covering a range of philosophical themes, including nature philosophy, body philosophy, sensory philosophy, perception philosophy, and human ecology, the book offers a profound understanding of our relationship with the world. It was first published in 1996.

David Abram

The Spell of the Sensuous argues that written language, and the alphabet in particular, cut Western perception loose from the living world it grew up inside, and that the loss is the root of the ecological trouble rather than a symptom of it.
