5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and Much Needed Philosophy
In his book, Arne Naess brilliantly provides the philosophical basis for deep ecology. He uses reasonable arguments that resound with all aspects of life. In a time when the market economy is pervading more and more areas around the globe, a philosophy like Naess's that can help us reconnect with the bigger picture is much needed.

3.0 out of 5 stars A treaty of ecophilosophy
The author develops the foundation of his nature-oriented philosophy with the traditional rigor, logic and method employed to describe new system of values. A bit harsh sometimes but philosophy demands that. For a more accessible and pragmatic artwork on the same subject, I would advise "Small is beautiful" by E. F. Schumacher.

This review is from: Ecology, Community and Lifestyle: Outline of an Ecosophy (Paperback)
In his book, Arne Naess brilliantly provides the philosophical basis for deep ecology. He uses reasonable arguments that resound with all aspects of life. In a time when the market economy is pervading more and more areas around the globe, a philosophy like Naess's that can help us reconnect with the bigger picture is much needed. I am finishing up a degree in environmental economics and from my first year in environmental studies, Arne Naess's ideas have been pivotal in the re-shaping of my relationship with the world. His philosophy has been cited time and time again by professors of different disciplines and this book is required reading in many courses. This book is not too context specific and can be understood by any audience. It is highly recommended for the reader interested in philosophy, ecology, environmentalism, and life in general.
