The Fabric of the World - Towards a Philosophy of Environment (Hardcover, 1st)

Everyone is talking about the environment, but what is meant by that word? This is the subject matter of this book. The author argues that we must question the institutions whose existence is based on the language of this dualistic perspective - nation-states, conventional politics and monetary values - and re-establish the principle of local life and community values. Only by recognising the spirit that underlies our environmental concerns will we counter the hopelessness, anomie and widespread emotional deprivation that our atomistic worldview has brought upon us.
