| Abstract | "In this compelling account of a problem we think we know inside out, Graham Parkes outlines the climatic predicament we are in, how we got here, and how we can think about it anew by covering the relevant history, science, economics, politics, and for the first time, the philosophy underpinning it all. Drawing on the wisdom of the ancients in both the Chinese and Western traditions, Parkes proposes practical responses, explaining how a greater awareness of non-Western philosophies, such as the Confucian political philosophy advocated by China, could help us remove obstructions and work towards a greener future"-- Provided by publisher. |
