Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-278) and index.
The ecological crisis of reason -- Rationalism and the ambiguity of science -- The politics of ecological rationality -- Inequality and ecological rationality -- The blindspots of centrism and human self-enclosure -- Philosophy, prudence and anthropocentrism -- The ethics of commodification -- Towards a dialogical interspecies ethics -- Unity, solidarity and deep ecology -- Towards a materialist spirituality of place -- Conclusion. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
"Environmental Culture: the ecological crisis of reason is a much needed account of what has gone wrong in our relationship with the environment. Written by one of our leading environmental thinkers, it is a compelling exploration of the contemporary ecological crisis, its origins, and the cultural illusions that lie behind it." "Val Plumwood argues that historically-traceable distortions of reason and culture have resulted in dangerous forms of ecological denial. They have had a widespread effect in areas as diverse as economics, politics, science, ethics, and spirituality, and appear in the currently dominant form of globalisation." "Environmental Culture: the ecological crisis of reason presents a radically new picture of how our culture must change in order to develop an ecologically rational society. Drawing on a range of ideas from feminism, democracy, globalisation and post-colonial thought, it is essential reading for anyone interested in the environment and our place in it."--BOOK JACKET.
