The anthropomorphic gaze is thinning out (Joanna Macy called this ‘the greening of the self), and we are seemingly re-entering ‘a web of life’. We can no longer cry: “Give me a place to stand and I shall move the earth”. We must – as Chinua Achebe reminds us – come to terms with our inescapable entanglement with the world, for there is no privileged place to stand in the world.
