Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 We want to put forward a bold and honest analysis of the world around us, even if it creates tension with readers. We believe it is important to confront difficult issues honestly, even if that creates tension with friends and allies. #2 Within the human family, we face a struggle for social justice in societies that do not operate in a manner consistent with widely held values concerning dignity, solidarity, and equality. #3 The coming decades are likely to be marked by dramatic dislocations as a result of our social and ecological crises. We do not advocate nihilism, but we take seriously the biophysical limits of the ecosphere and human limits. #4 We must have multiple working hypotheses to deal with the multiple cascading crises. We must understand and be able to deal with the crisis of consumption, which is easy to understand, but we must also understand and be able to deal with the crisis of meaning, which is not so easy. |
