As the second law of thermodynamics states, entropy never decreases, time marches relentlessly forward, and closed systems inevitably break down. Entropy serves as a powerful metaphor capturing expressions of growing malaise and decline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntropic Philosophy: Chaos, Breakdown, and Creation\u003c\/i\u003e builds on the meaning of entropy from the Greek \u003ci\u003eentropia\u003c\/i\u003e, signifying \"a turning toward\" or \"transformation.\" Developing a philosophy of entropy, this book draws variously from anthropology, psychoanalysis, literature, art, and the history of philosophy. This approach opens pathways for reverence and care that are crucial in preventing fear, existential inertia, and despair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShannon Mussett is Professor of Philosophy at Utah Valley University\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 08, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48664430805241,"sku":"9781786612465","price":194.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/vtgQ2r2csP9781786612465.webp?v=1784013315","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/entropic-philosophy-chaos-breakdown-and-creation-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
