Concern over the environment and what people are doing to it has
put important questions on the moral and political agenda. One that
is often asked in the West is whether we do indeed face a terminal
environmental catastrophe in the foreseeable future. Less dramatic
but still serious threats to the attractiveness and sustaining
powers of the world in which we live are also important
considerations. This book provides an accessible introduction to
the radical challenges that environmentalism poses to concepts that
have become almost second nature in the modern world, including:
the ideas of science and objectivity; the conventional placement of
the human being within the environment; and the individualism of
convential modern thought. Written in an accessible way for those
without a background in philosophy, this text examines ways of
thinking about ourselves, nature and our relationship with nature.
It offers an introduction to the phenomenological perspective on
environmental issues, and also to the questions of what natural
beauty is for the threat to it to play a role in practical
decision-making.
