More about the book
The book offers a critical reexamination of ancient Greek philosophy, challenging the notion that figures like Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and Plotinus hold anti-environmental views. It presents original essays that explore their perspectives on nature and ecology, arguing that despite their historical context, these philosophers can provide valuable insights for contemporary environmental ethics. The contributors suggest that the foundational ideas of these thinkers can be adapted to address modern environmental challenges effectively.
