<p><strong>"Systematically investigates the philosophical foundations of sustainable development in the context of the history of environmental policy. . . . Compelling." ー <em>Choice</em></strong><br /> Sustainability is a nearly ubiquitous concept today, but can we ever imagine what it would be like for humans to live sustainably on earth? One of the most trafficked terms in the press, on university campuses, and in the corridors of government, sustainability has risen to prominence as a buzzword before the many parties laying claim to it have agreed on how to define it. But the term's political currency urgently demands that we develop an understanding of this elusive concept.<br /> While economists, philosophers, and ecologists argue about what in nature is valuable, and why, in <em>Sustainable Values, Sustainable Change,</em> Bryan Norton offers an action-oriented, pragmatic response to the disconnect between public and academic discourse around sustainability. Looking to the arenas in which decisions are madeーand the problems driving these decisionsーNorton reveals that the path to sustainability cannot be guided by fixed objectives; sustainability will instead be achieved through experimentation, incremental learning, and adaptive management. Drawing inspiration from Aldo Leopold's famed metaphor of "thinking like a mountain" for a spatially explicit, pluralistic approach to evaluating environmental change, Norton outlines a new decision-making process guided by deliberation and negotiation across science and philosophy. Looking across scales to today's global problems, Norton urges us to learn to think like a planet.<br /> "An excellent distillation of Norton's extensive and groundbreaking work." ーBen Minteer, Arizona State University, author of <em>Refounding Environmental Ethics</em><br /> "Engaging and important." ーSahotra Sarkar, University of Texas at Austin, author of <em>Environmental Philosophy: From Theory to Practice</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
