This work gives an appraisal of the relevance of philosophy to the problems of environmental degradation. The aim of the author is to encourage readers to seek a system which supports deep ecological principles, or an ecosophy, by reassessing the relationship between man and nature.
Ecology, Community and Lifestyle is a revised and expanded translation of Naess' book Okologi, Samfunn og Livsstil, which sets out the author's thinking on the relevance of philosophy to the problems of environmental degradation and the rethinking of the relationship between mankind and nature. The text has been thoroughly updated by Naess and revised and translated by David Rothenberg.
