outside consciousness, transcend distinctions between fiction and non-fiction. It is
the prime mover of a cosmopolitan, animal and plant liberation disposition, given to
a revolution in human identification of the Other. Identity has been key to unlocking
the affairs of state that govern civility, legal protection, encouraged pathways of
empathy, ultimately, the enchantment of a wilderness ideal. The challenge of some
kind of conversation with Others poses every dialogue worth engaging in. Is it a
conversation at the heart of biosolipsism granting a new voice, voices, to the natural
history of existentialism?
