The environmental crisis is global in scope, yet contemporary
environmental ethics is centered predominantly in Western
philosophy and religion. "Earth's Insights" widens the scope of
environmental ethics to include the ecological teachings embedded
in non-Western worldviews. J. Baird Callicott ranges broadly,
exploring the sacred texts of Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Taoism,
Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism, as well as the oral traditions of
Polynesia, North and South America, and Australia. He also
documents the attempts of various peoples to put their
environmental ethics into practice. Finally, he wrestles with a
question of vital importance to all people sharing the fate of this
small planet: How can the world's many and diverse environmental
philosophies be brought together in a complementary and consistent
whole?
