Chapter 3. What is 'Natural' Anyway?

 

 

In this lecture you will:

  • Recap briefly on the last chapter.
  • Consider present day Western worldviews and attitudes to nature, examining how they developed over time: from Classical philosophy, through medieval thought, before being dramatically altered by the Enlightenment
  • Examine the worldviews of non-western cultures – do they have anything to teach us about sustainability?
