Nature in Asian Traditions of Thought: Essays in Environmental PhilosophyUniversity Distinguished Research Professor J Baird Callicott, J. Baird Callicott, Roger T. Ames SUNY Press, 1989 M01 1 - 335 páginas Here, Western environmental philosophers and some of our most distinguished representatives of Asian and comparative philosophy critically consider what Asia has to offer. The first section provides an ecological world view as a basis for comparison. Subsequent sections include chapters by leading contemporary scholars in Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Buddhist thought that explore the Western perception of Asian traditions--the perception that Asian philosophy is a rich conceptual resource for contemporary environmental thinkers. |
