Daoism and Environmental Philosophy explores ethics and the
philosophy of nature in the Daodejing, the Zhuangzi, and related
texts to elucidate their potential significance in our contemporary
environmental crisis. This book traces early Daoist depictions of
practices of embodied emptying and forgetting and communicative
strategies of undoing the fixations of words, things, and the
embodied self. These are aspects of an ethics of embracing
plainness and simplicity, nourishing the asymmetrically
differentiated yet shared elemental body of life of the myriad
things, and being responsively attuned in encountering and
responding to things. These critical and transformative dimensions
of early Daoism provide exemplary models and insights for
cultivating a more expansive ecological ethos, environmental
culture of nature, and progressive political ecology. This work
will be of interest to students and scholars interested in
philosophy, environmental ethics and philosophy, religious studies,
and intellectual history.
