Nature in Asian Traditions of Thought: Essays in Environmental Philosophy

J. Baird Callicott

4.9/5 (32527 ratings)

Description:"In a single volume, this brings to the forefront a diversity of perspectives concerning environmental philosophy. Informed scholars reflect upon our current understanding of biology, ecology, and non-western philosophical traditions in order to rethink the platform of the conservationist's cause. Each chapter reveals important insights and contains much original thinking as contributors explore new ideological resources for managing our global environment... must reading for all concerned persons who are actively involved in defending our natural resources." —David Edward Shaner, Furman University. Here, Western environmental philosophers and some of our most distinguished representatives of Asian and comparative philosophy critically consider what Asia has to offer. The first section provides an ecological world view as a basis for comparison. Subsequent sections include chapters by leading contemporary scholars in Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Buddhist thought that explore the Western perception of Asian traditions--the perception that Asian philosophy is a rich conceptual resource for contemporary environmental thinkers. "It would serve as valuable reading for anyone who is interested in the environment and in exploring new and traditionally Asian approaches to this crucial subject." —Shigenori Nagatomo, Temple UniversityWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
