The Recovery of Ecstasy: Notebooks from Siberia
More than twenty years since his last publication,
Sandy Krolick unleashes a firestorm of cultural critique and commentary,wrapped around the warmth of a loosely philosophical memoir.
“Your book is really good! I like it! You're an excellent writer. Thank you for your work!”
DERRICK JENSEN (Author of Endgame, The Culture of Make Believe, and A Language Older than Words.
He was named one of Utne Reader's "50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your
World" and won the Eric Hoffer Award in 2008. Philosopher poet of the
deep ecological movement, he also writes for The New York Times Magazine, Audubon, and The Sun Magazine.)
"Sandy has worked out a way to both rid ourselves of the suffering of death-terror and re-conceive the past so that the new conception fills rather than empties each present moment. From one direction, take away arguably the deepest source of human suffering; from the other direction bring back arguably the deepest source of human happiness."
MARVIN BRAM, Ph.D., L.H.D., From the Foreword
"Sandy Krolick has insight and a genuine love of life that is evident on every page; and he has the gift to communicate it passionately."
WISTERIA LEIGH, The Bookworms Dinner

Recollective Resolve:
A Phenomenological Understanding of Time and Myth
"In this groundbreaking work Krolick takes up Martin Heidegger’s notion of 'being-toward-death,' or anticipatory resolve. It’s an unsatisfactory notion, imprisoned in the calendar. Krolick rotates Heidegger 180 degrees and postulates the strikingly satisfactory 'being-toward–the-beginning,' or recollective resolve."
MARVIN BRAM, Ph.D., L.H.D.
Working to develop a new conception of mythic existence, Krolick uses the methods of phenomenology and history of religions to unearth a different way of understanding the problem of time and grasping its impact on our conception of self and world.

"The contributions to this volume by Krolick and Cannon range over many facets of Gandhi, his ideas, and the contemporary problems of war and peace. Several original interpretations of Gandhi illumine the discussion. However, a common theme emerges ... that Gandhi has a relevance for our time... and his ideas are valid for resolving disputes today."
