| Abstract
|
:
|
This paper is an account of a course called Philosophy and the Environment. The course responds to problems common in environmental education: that is, either leaving the audience unmoved, or, struck by the information and the analyses, but without emotional support or positive experiences, full of even more despair, cynicism and numbness than when they began. Many of us in higher education are seeking a different path, believing that it is possible to connect our bodies and our minds, our intellects and our emotions, our analytical intelligence and our spiritual hopes. Philosophy and the Environment attempts to do just this, providing a theoretical account of the crisis with an experience of its meaning.
