Description

Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.Emphasizing joy in the world, human cooperation and the value of all living things, this selection of Arne Naess' philosophical writings is filled with wit, learning and an intense connection with nature.

About the Author

Næss was a Norwegian philosopher, known foremost as the founder of the conceptDeep EcologyNæss combined his ecological vision with Gandhian nonviolence and on several occasions participated in direct action events. He was the youngest person to ever be promoted to professor at Oslo University (27), a position he inhabited from 1939 to 1970.Næss' main philosophical work from the 1950s was entitledInterpretation and Preciseness. . He later developed the conclusions in that book into a simplified, practical textbook, entitledCommunication and Argument, which became a valued introduction to pragmatics or rather "language logic", and was thus used over many decades as a sine qua non for the preparatory examination at the University of Oslo, later known as "Examen Philosophicum".From the 1960s and forward his work came to be more and more focused on what would later be known as deep ecology.The name was first introduced to the public by Næss in 1972 during a lecture and was later explained further inThe Shallow and the Deep Long-Range Ecology Movement: A Summary(published 1973 in theInquiryjournal).
