"We live in a time when the very private experience of having a
personal destiny to fulfill has become a subversive political force
of major proportions. An this (perhaps) is the way the industrial
world comes to an end, in a noisy celebration of social deviance
and personal defiance."
In "Person/Planet," Theodore Roszak, founder of the
ecopsychology movement and author of such internationally acclaimed
works as "The Making of a Counter Culture" and "The Voice of the
Earth," brings together the insights of deep ecology and humanistic
psychology. The result is a powerful reassertion of Personalism,
the philosophy that has most stubbornly resisted the dehumanizing
forces of industrial society. Drawing his inspiration from such
thinkers as Lewis Mumford, Thomas Merton, Emmanuel Mounier, Martin
Buber, and Fritz Schumacher, Roszak explores the emerging
congruency between environmental enlightenment and spiritual need.
As bleak as the environmental fate of the Earth may seem,
"Person/Planet" offers a daringly original and hopeful hypothesis:
that the Earth herself is already working in the depths of the
human psyche to heal our troubled urban-industrial culture. "The
needs of the planet," Roszak believes, "are the needs of the
person. The rights of the person are the rights of the planet."
