Ecological Life

Written as a series of lectures <I>The Ecological Life</I> offers a humanistic perspective on environmental philosophy that challenges some of the dogmas of deep ecology and radical environmentalism while speaking for their best desires. The book argues that being human-centered leaves us open to ecological identifications rather than the opposite. Bendik-Keymer draws on analytic and continental traditions of philosophy as well as literature and visual media. He argues for a sense of ecological justice consonant with human rights and shows how humanistic thinking is committed to deepening respect for life and our ecological orientation. In a clear jargon-free and conversational tone <I>The Ecological Life</I> presents a timely and important contribution to civic engagement in an ecological century.
