Human beings occupy a unique position in the world, bridging the gap between intellectual, moral, and political experiences. In his book, Aaron K. Kerr explores the relationship between nature and culture, highlighting the obscurities caused by technology and economic dogmatism. He argues that a renewal of the mediatory role of human communication is necessary to address ecological distress. To achieve this, there must be an equal awareness, sense of place, and regional responsibility for built environments that value nature. By situating philosophy and communication within the scientific consensus of the anthropocene, the author emphasizes the necessary mediations between fact and value, science and religion, local and global, nature and culture. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of philosophy, rhetoric, environmental ethics, and global bioethics.
