Environmental Skill: Motivation, Knowledge, And The Possibility Of A Non-Romantic Environmental Ethics (Routledge Studies In Ethics And Moral Theory)

Today we face environmental problems, but in spite of all we know it is hard to change our lives. What explains this lack of motivation and change? Discussing the relations between moral motivation, knowledge, and modernity, this book criticizes modern and romantic thinking about nature based on abstract reasoning and detached sentiments. It shows how an environmental ethics centered on the concept of environmental skill opens up alternative ways of relating to our environment.
