The Philosophical Roots of the Ecological Crisis: Descartes and the
Modern Worldview traces the conceptual sources of the present
environmental degradation within the worldview of Modernity, and
particularly within the thought of Rene Descartes, universally
acclaimed as the father of modern philosophy. The book demonstrates
how the triple foundations of the Modern worldview - in terms of an
exaggerated anthropocentrism, a mechanistic conception of the
natural world, and the metaphysical dualism between humanity and
the rest of the physical world - can all be largely traced back to
Cartesian thought, with direct ecological consequences.
