Daoism and Environmental Philosophy delves into the realm of ethics and the philosophy of nature, drawing upon the rich tapestry of texts such as the Daodejing, Zhuangzi, and related sources to unravel their potential relevance in addressing the pressing challenges of our contemporary environmental crisis. In this comprehensive exploration, the book traces the early Daoist representations of practices of embodied emptying and forgetting, as well as the communicative strategies employed to dismantle the fixations of words, things, and the embodied self. These profound aspects of early Daoism offer valuable models and insights for cultivating a more expansive ecological ethos, fostering a cultural reverence for nature, and advancing progressive political ecology.
The ethics of embracing plainness and simplicity, nurturing the asymmetrically differentiated yet interconnected elemental body of life that encompasses the myriad things, and developing a responsive attunement in encountering and responding to the world around us are at the heart of this philosophical inquiry. These critical and transformative dimensions of early Daoism serve as exemplary blueprints for cultivating a deeper understanding of our relationship with the natural world and for building a more sustainable and harmonious society.
This work will appeal to students and scholars engaged in the fields of philosophy, environmental ethics, philosophy of nature, religious studies, and intellectual history. It offers a profound exploration of the interconnections between Daoism, environmental consciousness, and social justice, providing valuable insights for navigating the complex challenges of our time and fostering a more sustainable and flourishing future.
