écologie, communauté et style de vie

Écologie, communauté et style de vie is the masterpiece of Arne Næss’ environmental philosophy. The book presents in a synthetic form the fundamentals of deep ecology and elucidates its principles in the various registers where it is expressed: in politics (where the aim is to clarify the broad outlines of a social movement likely to bring together the conditions necessary for action and to federate the greatest number of people around innumerable local communities), in ethics (where it is a question of linking value judgments within a normative system), in the theory of knowledge (where the challenge is to examine the link between acting, evaluating and experiencing emotions) and in metaphysics (where it is a question of determining reality as a system of interconnected relations and processes). This seminal work aims to bring about new forms of social coexistence, opening a promising way out of the catastrophe towards which we continue to run.
