The Inward Morning: A Philosophical Exploration in Journal Form [Paperback] Review

Edward Mooney is owed a great debt of thanks for reprinting this lost classic from the 1960s in the tradition of Thoreau's *Walden Pond.**The Inward Morning* is a reflection on life in journal form comparable to DagHammerskold's *Markings,* but far more profound philosophically.Bugbee, aformer Harvard professor, records his own most provocative thoughts aboutthe nature of individual selfhood, our relations to others and theenvironment, how we articulate our goals and passions, our way of finding aplace in the world and a sense of attentive/responsive connection to beingin general, and so much more. It is a book not only for professionalphilosophers (who will find it full of insights in moral psychology andphilosophical anthropology), but just as much for students and laypersonsstill searching for answers to life's most profound questions.It wouldmake an excellent addition to a syllabus for a course on the Meaning ofLife, or Philosophy in the Wilderness (say along with Thoreau, Emerson), orperhaps even Deep Ecology (along with Leopold and Naess).It would alsomake a great gift for anyone with a love for a penetrating and endlesslynovel perspective on human existence.

Product Description:
When first published in 1958, The Inward Morning was ahead of its time. Boldly original, it blended East and West, nature and culture, the personal and the universal. The critical establishment, confounded, largely ignored the work. Readers, however, embraced Bugbee's lyrical philosophy of wilderness. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s this philosophical daybook enjoyed the status of an underground classic.
With this paperback reissue, The Inward Morning will be brought to the attention of a new generation. Henry Bugbee is increasingly recognized as the only truly American existentialist and an original philosopher of wilderness who is an inspiration to a growing number of contemporary philosophers.
