Description: This book brings together a collection of essays written by scholars inspired by Eugene Gendlin's work particularly those interested in thinking with and beyond Gendlin for the sake of a global community facing significant crises. The contributors take inspiration from Gendlin's philosophy of the implicit and his theoretical approach to psychology. The essays engage with Gendlin's ideas for our era including critiques and corrections as well as extrapolations of his work. Gendlin himself worried that knowing about a problem is too often conflated with actions that might lead to change; the essays in this book point to a form of understanding that is activated an embodied and immediate way of thinking about today's problems. Throughout the volume the contributors creatively engage with Gendlin's work and its applicability to the complex pressing crises of our time: the Covid - 19 pandemic environmental/climate issues racism sexism economic inequality and other factors threatening human persons and communities. Gendlin's theoretical approach to psychology is naturally interdisciplinary making this book an essential read for anyone interested in moving to the boundaries where psychology meets philosophy theology art environmental studies science technology and much more.
