The question of energy is among the most vital for the future of humanity & the flourishing of life on this planet Yet only very rarely (if at all) do we ask what energy is what it means what ends it serves & how it is related to actuality meaning-making & instrumentality Energy Dreams interrogates the ontology of energy from the first coinage of the word energeia by Aristotle to the current practice of fracking & the popularity of "energy drinks" Its sustained multi-disciplinary investigation builds a theoretical infrastructure for an alternative energy paradigm This study unhinges stubbornly held assumptions about energy conceived in terms of a resource to be violently extracted from the depths of the earth & from certain living beings (such as plants converted into biofuels) a thing that teetering on the verge of depletion sparks off movement & is incompatible with the inertia of rest Consulting the insights of philosophers theologians psychologists & psychoanalysts economic & political theorists & physicists Michael Marder argues that energy is not only a coveted object of appropriation but also the subject who dreams of amassing it; that it not only resides in the dimension of depth but also circulates on the surface; that it activates rest as much as movement potentiality as much as actuality; & that it is both the means & the end of our pursuits Ultimately Marder shows that instead of being grounded in utopian naivete the dreams of another energy-to be procured without devastating everything in existence-derive from the suppressed concept of energy itself ...
