The drastic change in climate depicted in The Sunlight Pilgrims (2016) by Jenni Fagan that takes place in the then future, is a glimpse of an ongoing eco-dread to the entire world at present. As the story progresses we see the characters dread but then overcome it by developing the coping strategies which are needed at present and in the future, on the part of each human being residing on earth. To substantiate my claims about the characters' fears and their departure towards fearlessness, I draw ideas from Desh Subba, R. Michael Fisher, Wayne A. Davis, Joseph LeDoux, Barbara Bickel and argue that even at the vortex of fear and amidst dread, humans revive their innate capacity to overcome fear and survive it.Item Open Access Fear and Meditative Inquiry(In Search of Fearlessness Research Institute, 2021) Kumar, Ashwani; Fisher, R.

These act to order and frame the conceptual problems that the traditional educational system poses. There is an offering solution, one that is based on a Philosophy with/for Children (PwC/P4C). While both limit and contract the space children inhabit, PwC/P4C is an active, dynamic pedagogy that illuminates the child's world.Item Open Access (Senior) Editorial: Think Community(In Search of Fearlessness Research Institute, 2021) Fisher, R.

Pandemics in some ways level the field, reminding us that we are not so different from the rest of the animal world; in other ways, pandemics accentuate and exaggerate differences and inequalities. Pandemics and their discourses also raise debates about the balance between social responsibility and individual liberties. And pandemics are always environmental events, the current one being a direct result of closer human/nonhuman animal contactsÑitself a result of diminishing food sources and increasing populations. Given these facts, and given the fact that ecophobia is central to the environmental crises we have created, theoretical, personal, and political discussions about ecophobia and Covid-19 are very timely.
