David Abram is one of the most popular and richest Philosopher who was born on June 24, 1957 in New York, United States. American philosopher and performer who has been able to bridge the philosophical tradition of phenomenology and environmental and ecological concerns in books such as Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology in 2010.

His writing style is heavily influenced by American writers of the nature writing tradition like His writing has been influenced by American nature- writing tradition writers like Walt Whitman..

Born in the suburbs of New York City, Abram began studying at Wesleyan University while performing as a magician. After his second year of college, Abram took a year off to travel as an itinerant street magician through Europe and the Middle East; toward the end of that journey, in London, he began exploring the application of sleight-of-hand magic to psychotherapy under the guidance of R. D. Laing. After graduating summa cum laude from Wesleyan in 1980, Abram traveled throughout Southeast Asia as an magician, studying with traditional magic practitioners in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Nepal. Upon returning to North America he continued performing while devoting himself to the study of natural history and ethno-ecology, visiting native communities in the Southwest desert and the Pacific Northwest. An essay written while studying biology at the Yale School of Forestry in 1984 titled The Perceptual Implications of Gaia brought Abram into association with the scientists formulating the Gaia Hypothesis; he was soon lecturing in tandem with biologist Lynn Margulis and geochemist James Lovelock in Britain and the United States. In the late 1980s Abram turned his attention to exploring the decisive influence of language upon the human senses and upon our sensory experience of the land around us. Abram received a doctorate for this work from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, in 1993.

Writing in the mid-1990s, finding himself frustrated by the problematic terminology of environmentalism -tired of the conceptual gulf between humankind and the rest of nature tacitly implied by the use of conventional terms like “environment” and even by the word “nature”, as contrasted with “culture”, Abram coined the phrase “the more-than-human world” in order to define the broad commonwealth of earthly life, a realm that includes humankind and its culture, but which exceeds human culture. The phrase was intended to indicate that human culture was a subset within a larger set — that the human world was necessarily sustained, surrounded, and permeated by the more-than- human world — yet by the phrase Abram also meant to encourage a new humility on the part of humankind (since the “more” could be taken not just in a quantitative but also in a qualitative sense). Upon introducing the phrase as a central term in his 1996 book the phrase was gradually adopted by many other theorists and activists. In his afterword for the compilation Material Ecocriticism Abram calls his more-than-human world the “breathing commonwealth” and the “commonwealth of breath”.

He was raised by his mother, who was a pianist in concert.
