While technological approaches to climate mitigation are admirable, our ecological crisis results ultimately from an inherited, unexamined concept of selfhood and a misconceived view of nature. The received idea that our self exists inside our skull engenders an assumption that nature is \"out there,\" with devastating results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book explores three new ways of thinking about the interrelation of ourselves and \"nature\" Merleau-Ponty's notion of embodiment, the connection between enactivism and affordances, and object oriented ontology. These approaches to selfhood reorder our moral obligations: What are our responsibilities to ourselves, our children, and nature itself? An embodied ethic can transcend cultural biases and offer a new way of confronting climate change. To meet environmental challenges, we need to change our minds about our minds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46442481909911,"sku":"9781476692944","price":5096.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476692944.webp?v=1769123016","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pathways-to-a-new-environmental-ethic-decentering-the-human-subject-9781476692944","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
