The global ecological crisis is the greatest challenge humanity has
ever had to confront, and humanity is failing. The triumph of the
neo-liberal agenda, together with a debauched 'scientism', has
reduced nature and people to nothing but raw materials, instruments
and consumers to be efficiently managed in a global market
dominated by corporate managers, media moguls and technocrats. The
arts and the humanities have been devalued, genuine science has
been crippled, and the quest for autonomy and democracy undermined.
The resultant trajectory towards global ecological destruction
appears inexorable, and neither governments nor environmental
movements have significantly altered this, or indeed, seem able to.
The Philosophical Foundations of Ecological Civilization is a
wide-ranging and scholarly analysis of this failure. This book
reframes the dynamics of the debate beyond the discourses of
economics, politics and techno-science. Reviving natural philosophy
to align science with the humanities, it offers the categories
required to reform our modes of existence and our institutions so
that we augment, rather than undermine, the life of the ecosystems
of which we are part. From this philosophical foundation, the
author puts forth a manifesto for transforming our culture into one
which could provide an effective global environmental movement and
provide the foundations for a global ecological civilization.
