For readers of The Sixth Extinction, a manifesto for meaningfully
confronting our role in climate change and committing to
sustainable, eco-friendly living during an era irrevocably marked
by human activity. Despite our brief tenure on planet Earth, Homo
sapiens have caused an epoch of climate change and declining
ecological diversity: the Anthropocene. This age has been
singularly defined by humans' unique and unprecedented ability to
destroy our only habitat. In the face of global warming and animal
extinction, it is vitally important we collectively turn toward the
cultivation of eco-virtues-a new set of values by which to live-if
there is to be any hope for us and other species to continue to
exist. Within this collection are Nunavut hunters, religious
theologists, acclaimed academics and poets-including writing by
philosopher and poet Jan Zwicky recently deemed a seminal text on
climate change by The Guardian . The contributors bring a wide
breadth of perspectives from diverse realms of philosophy, culture,
belief, and writing style. A Book of Ecological Virtues: Living
Well in the Anthropocene speaks to humanity's mortality and
transience within the study of ecology, including the environmental
ramifications of longer life, improved medicine and treatments, and
even funeral rites. It is a philosophical and timely collection of
essays on how we can embody a more sustainable future through daily
action and habit change. "A significant contribution to
eco-philosophy, and to our collective discourse on the human-nature
relationship."- Laura Sewall , author of Sight and Sensibility: The
Ecopsychology of Perception
