In light of the exigencies of the unfolding global ecological crisis, I explore what the great classical Daoist Zhuangzi called “the debate that is not spoken” by bringing together, however implausibly, two voices to hear a word that in the end rests “at the place where understanding no longer understands.” The word itself endeavors to say what in the end cannot be said but still somehow communicated. I locate the emergence of this strange word in a silent and silence inducing debate between two thinkers who I suspect could never have imagined communicating with each other: The German post-Kantian philosopher FWJ Schelling (1775–1854), whose thinking about the obfuscation of Naturphilosophie now seems in many ways prophetic, and an admittedly unusual and surprising interlocutor, the late Standing Rock Sioux thinker, Vine Deloria, Jr. (1933–2005). In this silent debate, I attempt to hearken to what I call, however tentatively, eco-anarchism. This debate also considers the claim, made by each of our interlocutors in their own way, that this is a religious problem, albeit one that demands that we radically examine what such a word can now mean.
