This is a case study of a large-scale, clear-felling timber operation in the lowland rain forests of Papua New Guinea. The book suggests lessons that can be learned from the project that are relevant to forest managers elsewhere in the tropical world. This series provides data on the interaction between man and the environment. It represents some of the central findings to emerge from the 15-year "Man and the Biosphere" research programme initiated by UNESCO and supported by scientists from over 100 nations. The books in this series all focus on environmental issues of immediate international concern - and they demonstrate the way in which many environmental factors have important implications both for economics and for sociology.

One of the guiding thoughts throughout this work is that G. W. F. Hegel is the philosopher of the modern age, that subsequent phil osophers, whether or not they have read his works, must take their stand in relation to Hegel. My purpose is not only to present Hegel, but to show that his influence has been felt for some time, even though his presence has not been explicitly acknowledged. In spite of a recent revival in Heglian scholarship, the history of philosophy in the English-speaking world is generally obscured by a period of darkness between Kant and the early inquiries of Russell and Frege. A place is assigned to Mill and Bentham, but even today very few Anglo-Saxon philosophers would be prepared to recognise Marx as a philosopher, although it is widely held that Marx was in some way influenced by Hegel, which is probably a good reason for not paying too much attention to the latter. At best, an understand ing of Hegel is relevant to an understanding of Marx, but it is not considered that Hegel made a significant contribution to the main stream of Western philosophy from Descartes onwards, and it is assumed that he is of little relevance to the 'linguistic revolution' pioneered by Wittgenstein, Ryle, and Austin.
