Description
The Ecological Self by Freya Mathews explores the interconnectedness of nature and its impact on our understanding of the environment. This thought-provoking book weaves together philosophy, science, and metaphysics to challenge traditional views of the universe and human place within it.
Mathews argues that a fragmented view of the world, inherited from Newton's atomistic cosmology, has led to a disconnection between humans and nature, viewing them as separate entities rather than interconnected systems. She proposes an alternative perspective, one that recognizes the intrinsic value of nature and the need for an ethics of ecological interdependence.
This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Introduction by the author, offering further insights into Mathews' compelling vision for a more holistic understanding of our relationship with the environment.
