When I gather together
the animals, arguments, molecules, suggestions, forces,
interpretations, sounds, people, and images of this study, one theme
emerges. The modern story of disenchantment leaves out important
things, and it neglects crucial sources of ethical generosity in
doing so. Without modes of enchantment, we might not have the energy
and inspiration to enact ecological projects, or to contest ugly and
unjust modes of commercialization, or to respond generously to humans
and nonhumans that challenge our settled identities. These
enchantments are already in and around us.
