We face an environmental catastrophe of global proportions. The
ecological rationality of modern society, and of science in
particular, is in question. Science still responds to crises at the
level of technocratic expertise, and still treats society as an
adaptive system.
By bringing together a number of integrative approaches to the
human-environment problem, Human Ecology shapes a more radical,
fundamental agenda for change. The book creates a framework for a
cohesive discourse, for a "new human ecology." From the notion that
the individual person is an agent mediating between society and
environment, the individual contributors recognize that the
environmental crisis is really a crisis of society - manifesting
itself in an increasing fragmentation of lives in general and
knowledge in particular. Arguing for environmentally sustainable
lifestyles, the book envisages a new kind of consciousness and a
new environment.
