J. Baird Callicott 
Earth’s Insights [EPUB ebook] 
A Multicultural Survey of Ecological Ethics from the Mediterranean Basin to the Australian Outback

Dukung

The environmental crisis is global in scope, yet contemporary environmental ethics is centered predominantly in Western philosophy and religion.
Earth’s Insights widens the scope of environmental ethics to include the ecological teachings embedded in non-Western worldviews. J. Baird Callicott ranges broadly, exploring the sacred texts of Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism, as well as the oral traditions of Polynesia, North and South America, and Australia. He also documents the attempts of various peoples to put their environmental ethics into practice. Finally, he wrestles with a question of vital importance to all people sharing the fate of this small planet: How can the world’s many and diverse environmental philosophies be brought together in a complementary and consistent whole?
