| Annotation: | Using Gandhi’s conception of atman (the universal Self) as an example, Naess introduces his concept of the ecological Self as the basis for a new kind of environmentalism. Compared to moralistic forms of environmentalism that rely on judgment and prescription, expanding the notion of the Self to include the natural world would easily foster greater care and compassion for the environment because it is part of one’s “Self.” |
