Pathways To A New Environmental Ethic - Decentering The Human Subject

de Alford Steven E. Alford

~~34,44€~~ 31,00€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <p> We live under the threat of humanity''s self-inflicted extinction. While technological approaches to climate mitigation are admirable, our ecological crisis results ultimately from an inherited, unexamined concept of selfhood and a misconceived view of nature. The received idea that our self exists inside our skull engenders an assumption that nature is "out there," with devastating results.</p><p> This book explores three new ways of thinking about the interrelation of ourselves and "nature": Merleau-Ponty''s notion of embodiment, the connection between enactivism and affordances, and object oriented ontology. These approaches to selfhood reorder our moral obligations: What are our responsibilities to ourselves, our children, and nature itself? An embodied ethic can transcend cultural biases and offer a new way of confronting climate change. To meet environmental challenges, we need to change our minds about our minds.</p>
