| Annotation: | Committed to maintaining a close relationship with science, Ip demonstrates how Taoist metaphysics can be the basis of an environmental ethic. He primarily draws on Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu while discussing science and ethics, the idea of minimally and maximally coherent environmental ethics, and the concept of wu wei interpreted as “nonaction.” Ip suggests that Taoist philosophy answers the metaphysical and ontological barriers set up by Descartes and the Enlightenment. |
