To increasing numbers of people, sustainability is the key
challenge of the twenty-first century. In the many fields where it
is a goal, persistent problems obstruct the efforts of those trying
to make a difference. The task of this book is to provide an
overview of the current state of philosophy in the context of what
philosophy is, could be or should be in relation to sustainability
and the human future on Earth. The book is conceived as a
contribution to the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable
Development, helping to link work on philosophy and
sustainability."
Critiquing Sustainability, Changing Philosophy "focusses on the
importance of philosophical work to the formation and effectiveness
of global civil society and social movements for sustainability in
the context of the Anthropocene age of the Earth. It takes a
transdisciplinary systems approach that challenges philosophy and
concludes by proposing a greatly enhanced role for philosophy in
contributing to global public reason for sustainability.
This book will be of interest to philosophers, sustainability
practitioners and thinkers, policy makers and all those engaged in
the global movement for sustainability. "
