Description

Wholeness: A Philosophy to Save the Earth is a deft explication of the ‘inner environmental crisis.’ It seeks to understand and better man’s relationship with the planet. Through examining the psychological and philosophical aspects of the current predicament, the book looks at facts and possibilities with an eye toward grounding the current ‘green movement’ in perceptions about the ‘wholeness’ of human and natural animations.

The book seeks to capitalize on the slow-but-gaining consciousness that sees the organic and natural as fundamental to human existence. With a style both biting and reflective, the book explicates a philosophy of ‘wholeness,’ envisioning an integration of persons with the limitations and opportunities of earth’s ecologies. With both theory and vignettes of positive change around the world, the work argues for more vital attitudes and actions. It is an unafraid combination of indictment and rectification.

Wholeness: A Philosophy to Save the Earth is unique in addressing the internal landscape that needs to be remedied if ‘green’ thinking is to be more than a surface reshaping. In an era that is seeking clarification on this important problem, this book is a timely as well as timeless elucidation of real improvement.
