Living-With Wisdom explores the way in which ancient Greek models
of philosophy as an attempt to live 'the good life' can and should
be realised through the practice of permaculture. Following the
thought of Plato and Aristotle, the author places the achievement
of wisdom and fulfilment at the centre of the good life,
identifying these with the achievement of a complex admixture of
virtues, which are dependent on an appreciation of goodness itself.
The book then examines the manner in which permaculture - or the
practice of sustainable farming or ethical gardening - can provide
us with the best opportunity to acquire this 'moral knowledge'
through the close relationships we can have with other living
beings and things. A study of the nature of wisdom and a means of
'living-with philosophy', Living-With Wisdom: Permaculture and
Symbiotic Ethics reveals that it is by appreciating and sharing in
the lives of other organisms that we engage with many dilemmas of
life and death and have the opportunity to exercise the virtues. As
such, it will appeal to scholars of philosophy, social theory and
anthrozoology with interests in virtue ethics, environmental
ethics, animal ethics and human-animal relations.
