#6 Derrick Jensen - On the Collapse of Civilization and the Sentience of Nonhuman Beings

On this week’s episode of “Death in The Garden”, Jake and Maren share their interview with Derrick Jensen: a prolific writer (Endgame, A Language Older Than Words, What We Leave Behind, to name a few books he has written), eco-philosopher, and radical environmentalist. This episode is rich with information and soul, covering plant sentience, the importance of protecting ecology, the rise and fall of civilizations, how modernity affects our psyches, and how we got to this critical point with our society and environment. We feel this podcast deeply aligns with the direction of our project and the philosophical/anthropological lens we are attempting to see the issue of climate change through. Derrick Jensen is an incredible person, and it was such a gift to be able to sit down with him. Find him at his website and Youtube for more!
