The Natural Alien: Humankind and EnvironmentUniversity of Toronto Press, 1985 - 160 Seiten The author evaluates the international environmental movement and the underlying assumptions that could doom it to failure. He suggests environmentalists might rely upon the wisdom of Martin Heidegger and others, avoiding what he refers to as "The Cartesian Roadblock'' of "I think, therefore I am'' and move to the more meaningful and flexible intellectual position of "I think, therefore I care.'' |
