Towards an Integral Ecological Ethic: The Renewal of Metaphysics in the Thought of Stratford Caldecott - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This essay aims at the roots of the ecological crisis we are immersed in. Taylor surveys attitudes towards nature and their philosophical, and particularly metaphysical, underpinnings. Few authors acknowledge that a particular environmental ethic is built on a metaphysical foundation that determines the underlying value of nature and man in the world. Thus, contemporary attitudes cannot break free from our modern philosophical heritage without a thorough examination of its metaphysical claims. Basing his analysis in the thought and writings of the late Stratford Caldecott, Taylor exposes the insufficiencies of most contemporary environmental ethics (in parts one and two) and, in part three, proposes the renewal of metaphysics to achieve an integral ecological ethic that is not only useful and good, but also true to our human experience. Caldecott's vision is not restricted merely to normative propositions but informs every aspect of human life, even the way we approach science, which leads to the proposal of a new scientific paradigm in the final section of this essay.
