Environmental Pragmatism (Environmental Philosophies Series)

Environmental Pragmatism (Environmental Philosophies Series) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Environmental pragmatism is a new strategy in environmental thought: it argues that theoretical debates are hindering the ability of the environmental movement to forge agreement on basic policy imperatives. This new direction in environmental philosophy moves beyond theory, advocating a serious inquiry into the practical merits of moral pluralism. Environmental pragmatism, as a coherent philosophical position, connects the methodology of classical American pragmatist thought to the explanation, solution and discussion of real issues.

Book News Annotation:

Seventeen essays argue that theoretical debates are hindering the ability of the environmental movement to forge agreement on basic policy imperatives. The authors advocate a serious inquiry into the practical merits of moral pluralism. This collection is the first presentation of environmental pragmatism--which connects the methodology of classical American pragmatist thought to the explanation, solution and discussion of real issues--as a new philosophical approach to environmental thought and policy.
