    Description

    T&F/Routledge Environmentalism: An Evolutionary Approach 1St Edition by Douglas Spieles

    The Premise Of This Book Is That Our Environmental Dilemmas Are Products Of Biological And Sociocultural Evolution And That Through An Understanding Of Evolution We Can Reframe Debates Of Thought And Action. The Purpose Is To Explain The Wide Variety Of Environmental Worldviews Their Origins Commonalities Points Of Contention And Their Implications For The Modern Environmental Movement. In Three Parts Covering The Origins Evolution And Future Of Environmentalism It Offers Instructors And Students A Framework On Which To Map Theory Case Studies And Classical Literature. It Is Shown That Environmentalism Can Be Described In Terms Of Six Human Values-Utility Stability Equity Beauty Sanctity And Morality-And That These Are Deeply Rooted In Our Biological And Cultural Origins. In Building This Case The Book Draws Upon Ecology Philosophy Psychology History Biology Economics Spirituality And Aesthetics But Rather Than Consider These All Independently It Integrates Them To Craft A Mosaic Narrative Of Our Species And Its Home. From Our Evolutionary Origins A Story Emerges; It Is The Story Of Humankind How We Have Come To Threaten Our Own Existence And Why We Seem To Have Such Difficulty In Acting Together To Ensure Our Common Future. Understanding Our Environmental Problems In Evolutionary Terms Gives Us A Way Forward. It Suggests An Environmentalism In Which Material Views Of Human Life Include Spirituality In Which Our Anthropocentric Behaviors Incorporate Ecological Function And In Which Environmental Problems Are Addressed By The Intentional Relation Of Humans To The Nonhuman World And To One Another. Aimed At Students Taking Courses In Environmental Studies The Book Brings Clarity To A Complex And At Times Confusing Array Of Ideas And Concepts Of Environmentalism.Show More
