Sudheesh Srivastava’s Reviews > Enlivenment: Toward a Poetics for the Anthropocene > Status Update

As I interpret, according to the author 'Enlightened' freedom has amounted to a form of accentuated autonomy, agency. While an 'Enlivened' freedom indicates a form of natural responsibility towards ecological commons, rather than just an economy-centric plan around sustainability.
