The Environmental Crisis: Metanarrative and the Moral Evolution of Modern Human Society
A major thesis of this book is that material and applied ethics approaches to the environmental crisis cannot succeed without the power of a legitimating discourse – a new metanarrative – which fundamentally changes the ideational landscape of human development. The self-induced peril we now face calls for comprehensive, interpretive, even philosophical sensibilities to tackle and resolve. This book aims to encourage the development of those sensibilities with a sustained focus on the moral dimension of human behavior on Earth.
