The Concept of Milieu in Environmental Ethics discusses how we can
come together to address current environmental problems at the
planetary level, such as climate change, biodiversity loss,
transborder pollution and desertification. The book recognises the
embedded individual sociocultural and environmental contexts that
impact our everyday choices. It asks, in this pluralism of
worldviews, how can we build common ground to tackle environmental
issues? What is our individual moral responsibility within the
larger collaborative challenge? Through philosophical reasoning,
this book pragmatically addresses these questions and builds a
framework to support sustainable ways of living. At the core of the
book, it draws on the concept of milieu (fudo) inspired by the
Japanese philosopher Watsuji Tetsuro, which captures how we act
within and perceive our surroundings as a web of culturally,
historically and geographically situated meanings and values. It
argues that the milieu connects us as individuals with community,
past and future history, and the natural world, providing us with
common ground for global environmental ethics. This book will be an
engaging and interesting read for scholars, researchers and
students in environmental ethics, philosophy and sustainability.
