The Greeks and the Environment

Více o knize

The book challenges the notion that ancient Greek philosophy is inherently anti-environmental by exploring the ecological perspectives of philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and Plotinus. It argues that, despite the absence of contemporary environmental concerns, these thinkers offer valuable insights that can inform modern environmental ethics. The collection of essays seeks to uncover a philosophical foundation that supports a more sustainable relationship with nature, suggesting that ancient thought can contribute meaningfully to today's environmental discourse.
