Zhuangzi and the Becoming of Nothingness
Explores the cosmological and metaphysical thought in the Zhuangzi from the perspective of nothingness. Zhuangzi and the Becoming of Nothingness offers a radical rereading of the Daoist classic Zhuangzi by bringing to light the role of nothingness in grounding the cosmological and metaphysical aspects of its thought. Through a careful analysis of the text and its appended commentaries, David Chai reveals not only how nothingness physically enriches the myriad things of the world, but also why the Zhuangzi prefers nothingness over being as a means to expound the authentic way of Dao. Chai weaves together Dao, nothingness, and being in order to reassess the nature and significance of Daoist ph...
Colossal Control Failures
This fascinating book analyzes 13 control failures in human history, from Robespierre's promotion of the French Revolution, to Hoover's efforts to stop the Great Depression, to the intelligence failures of 9/11. Assessing the causes of 10 additional historical cases, the author's comparative analysis shows how each leadership failure was caused by an expansion of the range of control attempts, their scope, and/or their diversity. A leader's or other actor's attempts to broaden the range of control targets have been most important in causing great human failures. The analysis is timely during an era when war, global warming, and other vexing problems plague our society.
Bioregionalism and Global Ethics
While a number of schools of environmental thought — including social ecology, ecofeminism, ecological Marxism, ecoanarchism, and bioregionalism — have attempted to link social issues to a concern for the environment, environmental ethics as an academic discipline has tended to focus more narrowly on ethics related either to changes in personal values or behavior, or to the various ways in which nature might be valued. What is lacking is a framework in which individual, social, and environmental concerns can be looked at not in isolation from each other, but rather in terms of their interrelationships. In this book, Evanoff aims to develop just such a philosophical framework — one in w...

Ekofenomenologi
Gerakan ekologi dan etika lingkungan telah dengan tepat menunjukkan berbagai kerusakan alam dan kemerosotan lingkungan hidup akibat aktivitas-aktivitas manusia yang mengutamakan kepentingannya sendiri. Pandangan dunia yang antroposentrik dituding sebagai pangkal ketimpangan relasi antara manusia dengan alam sekitarnya. Namun baik ekologi maupun etika lingkungan ditengarai masih terjebak dalam dikotomi antara ekosentrisme dengan antroposentrisme. Dikotomi ini membuat kedua gerakan tersebut kerap kesulitan dalam menjelaskan kepentingan manusia di dalam kerangka hidup bersama alam, misalnya dalam menjelaskan soal teknologi. Dengan memakai pendekatan fenomenologi yang bersumber dari filsafat Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, dan Heidegger, buku ini hendak meneliti hubungan ontologis manusia dengan alam secara lebih mendalam dan radikal. Sebuah perangkat baru hendak dibangun guna memahami alam secara substansial, yang bukan sekadar gejala kerusakannya atau hal-hal lain yang bersifat deskriptif, statistik, maupun etis belaka.

Evolutionary Ontology
This book examines new concept of evolutionary ontology based on the idea of radically different “ontic orders” – natural and cultural being. It explains how culture evolved out of nature and how it became “anti-natural”. The remedy is seen in the global biophilous reconstruction of culture. The value of the “live planet” Earth and the “subject” capable of creative activity and evolution are given fundamental philosophical interpretation.
