From one of continental philosophy's most distinctive voices comes a
creative contribution to spatial studies, environmental philosophy,
and phenomenology. Edward S. Casey identifies how important edges are
to us, not only in terms of how we perceive our world, but in our
cognitive, artistic, and sociopolitical attentions to it. We live in a
world that is constantly on edge, yet edges as such are rarely
explored. Casey systematically describes the major and minor edges
that configure the human and other-than-human realms, including our
everyday experience. He also explores edges in high- stakes
situations, such as those that emerge in natural disasters, moments of
political and economic upheaval, and encroaching climate change.
Casey's work enables a more lucid understanding of the edge-world that
is a necessary part of living in a shared global environment.
