This book makes a case for rights and responsibilities to be
expressed through a cosmopolitan praxis based on developing strong
cosmopolitan approaches. This developed approach respects a form of
cultural or national identity that is not at the expense of others,
the environment or future generations. This new stoicism is based
on a sense of responsibility for others. The book also explores
systemic ethical praxis in response to the vexed challenge of how
to bridge the false dualism of pitting the environment versus
profit. Systemic Ethics and Non-Anthropocentric Stewardship:
Implications for Transdisciplinarity and Cosmopolitan Politics is
organized into seven chapters. The book begins by providing readers
with an understanding of the way in which cosmopolitanism (like all
social concepts) is shaped by diverse definitions and applied
differently by theorists and those that engage in transformative
praxis. It also develops an argument based on considering the
empirical consequences of social, economic and environmental
decisions on the quality of life of current and future generations.
The next chapter critiques anthropocentricism and explores how
policy makers develop agreements on what constitutes and supports
the wellbeing of the planet rather than the GDP. The book then
explores the options for social democracy and ways to enhance an
ethical approach to post national governance and argues for
participatory democracy and governance to respond to diversity
within and across national boundaries. The following chapters
reflect upon the author's own participatory action research process
and examines the transformations that can arise through critical
systemic thinking and practice. Next the book makes the case for
systemic ethical governance that is able to manage consumption,
before concluding with a final look at the book's approach, based
on critical heuristics.
