"Nested Ecology" provides a pragmatic and functional approach to
realizing a sustainable environmental ethic.
Edward T. Wimberley asserts that a practical ecological ethic
must focus on human decision making within the context of larger
social and environmental systems. Think of a set of mixing bowls,
in which smaller bowls sit within larger ones. Wimberley sees the
world in much the same way, with personal ecologies embedded in
social ecologies that in turn are nested within natural
ecologies.
Wimberley urges a complete reconceptualization of the human
place in the ecological hierarchy. Going beyond the physical realms
in which people live and interact, he extends the concept of
ecology to spirituality and the "ecology of the unknown." In doing
so, Wimberley defines a new environmental philosophy and a new
ecological ethic.
