Environmental issues continue to divide opinion, sometimes in
extreme ways. Almost everyone agrees that education has a role to
play in ensuring the future of humanity on Earth. Some think we
should all learn to leave a minimal environmental footprint; others
argue that education should promote economic growth, because only
growth can generate the capital needed to develop solutions to
environmental problems. Advocates on each side often find the views
of their opponents simply incredible, giving rise to accusations of
bad faith or poor science. This book explores the foundations of
the debate by examining human interrelations with Nature. It takes
an educational perspective, but also draws on evidence from
anthropology, economics, ecology, policy sciences and natural
history. The case presented is that any coherent view of the
purposes and potential of education requires a theory of human
society in the natural world. For such a theory, education (and,
more broadly, learning) must be more than an instrument for the
achievement of personal or policy goals. Rather, it is an integral,
continuing and necessary component of personal and policy
development. On this basis, a novel approach to curriculum design
and implementation is outlined.
