His masterful prose spans the tension between disquiet and joy. Detractor of the violent trends of modernity, a critic of apartheid from the first hour, he was among the first philosophers of ecology. At the same time he celebrated the generosity of the world and advocated an ethics of simplicity, drawing on mediaeval theology and Eastern wisdom. His philosophy offered food for thought in dark times of the 20th century, as it still does for us in the 21st century. This first book-length study on Versfeld is an invitation to think with him on justice and exploitation, cultural difference and human nature, religion and the environment, time and connectedness. 588 0 Print version record. 590 JSTOR|bBooks at JSTOR Open Access 600 10 Versfeld, Marthinus.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n50053132 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 Philosophy, African|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009001873 650 7 Philosophy, African.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1060851 650 7 RELIGION / Philosophy.|2bisacsh 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Versfeld, Ruth,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n88119036|econtributor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWOLFF, ERNST.|tMARTIN VERSFELD.|d[Place of publication not identified] : LEUVEN UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2021|z9462702977|w(OCoLC)1263866962 856 40 |uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctv1x6765x |zOnline ebook.
