A Parliament of Minds: Philosophy for a New Millennium

For thousands of years humans have grappled with the idea of Nature. This enduring question has left its poignant mark on a multiplicity of images, stories, works of art, & philosophical & religious systems. Here Tobias seeks to unravel the aesthetic, psychological & philosophical impact that the Earth has had on humanity, providing a dramatic overview of the new field of ecological aesthetics. Comprised of 10 autobiographical essays, this book is lavishly illustrated with art & images never brought together in an ecological context. Discusses Vivaldi, Giorgione, van Eyck & Vermeer, the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, the ascetics of Sinai & Tibet, the Pure Land Buddhists, the Jains of India, Percy Bysshe Shelley, & much more.

If current world population trends were to continue, human numbers could more than double to 13 billion people by the end of this century. Given humanity's consumerist trends, with resulting global warming and the overall impact on vulnerable biodiversity and habitat, this would be ecologically disastrous! This book is that rare chronicle of sobering optimism in a world more accustomed to thinking about population as a dilemma with little hope of positive change. The authors journeyed the world in search of what is happening in country after country and discovered changes that have resulted in smaller family sizes and the empowerment of women and chldren, while creating critical pathways towards ecological sustainability.
