Paperback. Etat : Good. Here is a book for anyone who has ever looked at humanity?s relationship with the natural world and thought: this all seems to be going rather badly, doesn?t it? Not in a dramatic end-of-days way, necessarily, but in the more familiar, steady, industrious, very human manner of paving over things, poisoning rivers, and then writing thoughtful essays about stewardship afterwards. Man?s Responsibility for Nature (1974) by John Passmore is a wonderfully serious title from a period when philosophy still felt entirely entitled to stride into a room, clear its throat, and ask whether civilisation ought perhaps to stop wrecking the planet. This is not a cosy handbook about hugging trees. Nor is it a glossy modern eco-manifesto full of lifestyle tips and photographs of misty forests. It is something more austere and, in its way, more interesting: a rigorous attempt to think through what exactly human beings owe to the natural world, if anything, and why. Passmore was a philosopher, which means he does not simply assume that ?nature is good? and leave it there beneath a tasteful leaf motif. He picks at the deeper question: what do we mean by responsibility? Are we caretakers, conquerors, managers, vandals with better vocabulary? Is environmental concern rooted in religion, morality, prudence, aesthetics, self-interest, or a belated feeling of guilt after several centuries of industrial enthusiasm? As ever with philosophy, the fun lies in discovering that the obvious answer is less obvious than it first appeared. What makes the book especially delicious now is its date. Published in 1974, it comes from that fascinating moment when modern environmental concern was no longer a fringe murmur but had not yet become a fully industrialised moral language of documentaries, reusable coffee cups, and corporate sustainability reports printed on expensive paper. Passmore is thinking before the slogans harden. He is trying to work out the intellectual foundations of environmental ethics while much of the modern green conversation is still assembling its furniture. There is, of course, a lurking irony in all this. Humanity likes to imagine itself as the rational species, uniquely capable of foresight, restraint and moral reflection. Yet we have also shown a remarkable talent for treating the natural world as an inexhaustible warehouse with scenery attached. Books like this arise precisely because our practical behaviour has not always matched our theoretical self-admiration. We are very good at inventing philosophies of responsibility, sometimes just after bulldozing something ancient and irreplaceable. Still, Passmore?s seriousness is part of the appeal. He belongs to that grand tradition of writers who believe ideas matter, and that if people are going to start talking about conservation, stewardship and ecological duty, they ought to be clear what those words mean. This gives the book a kind of stern intellectual elegance. It is not content with sentiment. It wants argument. It wants clarity. It wants civilisation to explain itself. For readers of Crappy Old Books , this is exactly the sort of volume that looks modest on the outside but turns out to contain a large and disconcerting question about the human project. It is thoughtful, probing, faintly severe, and unexpectedly timely for a book from the mid-1970s. Perfect for anyone interested in philosophy, environmental thought, or the long tradition of humanity realising?slightly late in the day?that nature may not actually be obliged to absorb all our nonsense indefinitely. Condition: Good , which is more than can be said for the biosphere. A solid copy of a serious, intelligent and quietly chastening book about what mankind owes the natural world, and whether mankind is likely to get around to paying up. N° de réf. du vendeur 6096
