| Opplysninger | Basic issues in Taylor's philosophy -- Taylor's interpretivism, knowledge and the natural environment -- Taylor's interpretivism, social imaginaries and the natural environment -- Taylor's metaphysics, Merleau-Ponty and the natural environment -- Taylor's environmentalism and critique of utilitarianism and instrumental reason -- Taylor's critique of instrumentalism, liberalism and procedure in politics -- Interpretation, language and environmental values : the Habermas and Taylor debate -- Critical perspectives : the Taylor-Rorty debate -- Taylor and deep ecology -- Critical environmentalism : Marx to Taylor's interpretivism.. - "Central to the argument of the book are Charles Taylor's perspectives on authenticity and expressivism, which the author reads as a radical reworking of our understanding of being in the world and a starting point for rethinking the way individuals and communities ought to be dealing politically with ecological crises. Glen Lehman uses Taylor's work on liberalism, interpretivism and socialism to construct a bridge between democratic, ethical and ecological perspectives. The bridge developed involves a fusion between liberal and interpretivist ideas, establishing a common ground through which different values are addressed. Such a fusion of perspectives acts in a spirit that moderates the dominant anthropocentric attitude toward the natural environment"--Fra forleggers webside
