This book links three themes, non-dualistic agency, 'the good' of systems, and compassionate attunement, and relates them to the ecological emergency.
The author begins by examining how we currently understand our ability to choose what we do, our agency and conclude that this is dualistic: we think of an action to do, and then we physically act. Yet an understanding that we are enmeshed in context means our capacity to act freely dissolves in the mesh.
We evolved capacities for consciousness and awareness, capacities that allow us to realise that we are here, now but that do not inevitably imply choice. Our capacity for 'realisation' gives us the ability to elicit an emotional response. When we understand our enmeshment, we can attune to a deep compassion for ourselves and indeed for all systems unfolding through time. Compassionate attunement allows a different set of options for action to become available to us. This then shifts how we respond to ourselves, our human relationships and to the ecological emergency we are currently embroiled in.
This work is inspired by the great Kamakura Zen Master Eihei Dōgen. The book's contribution is to extend and link the notion of practice-realisation with the literature on evolutionary biology and entropy maximisation which allows us to speak of 'the good' of systems. Systems unfold as 'good' for us when biodiversity maximisation occurs.
By considering the ecological emergency in light of compassionate attunement, we open ourselves to a new array of possibilities for action. Some of these the author outlines in the conclusion, relating them to existing literature on compassionate achievement and compassionate communication, to show how our this practice shifts our relationship to ourselves, to one another, and to the ecological emergency, thus changing the course of human history.

Описание: The Green Light (‘Le Feu Vert’) offers an original and profound exploration of the roots of environmental philosophy and the Anthropocene. Bernard Charbonneau situates the wellspring of the ecological movement in the dialectics of Nature and Freedom, and their needful but uneasy joining against the totalizing system of technological society that threatens them both. Using this paradoxical tension as a yardstick, he probes the ways in which concepts of Nature have developed as industrialization became second nature and jeopardized the original, taken for granted until its advent. This allows Charbonneau to explain how movements and policies claiming to deal with this issue have gone wrong. A spirited critique of how the environmental movement has taken shape in relation to philosophy, politics, theology and contemporary culture, this book written in 1980 is representative of an oft-overlooked strand of French environmentalist thought, as a look back on its first decade in the public eye by a man who had originated political ecology half a century earlier. Charbonneau can be said to have prepared the way for many current concerns within environmental thought: the tension between liberalism and ecologism in green political theory; the wider question of the compatibility of ecological imperatives with supposedly foundational freedoms under capitalism; the discussions over how to balance existing democratic structures with environmental goals; the tensions between radical and reformist strategies within green movements; the controversy over the core values of ecological politics in a world transformed by climate change and peak everything; and the proper attitude of environmental movements to institutional science. This ground-breaking work should be front and centre of the debates that he anticipated, while giving a timely perspective on the interconnected questions of nature and human freedom. This first English translation of a work by Bernard Charbonneau provides not only a vivid account of environmental philosophy, but an introduction to this important author’s thought.

Описание: Some of the most prominent figures in the Beat Movement were attracted to the new Cuba as a place where people would be racially equal, sexually free, and politically enfranchised. Todd Tietchen clearly documents the multiple ways in which the Beats engaged with the scene in Havana. He also demonstrates that even in these early years the Beat movement expounded a diverse but identifiable politics.

Описание: La notion de services ecosystemiques s’est recemment imposee comme un mot d’ordre de la gouvernance environnementale. Rejetee en bloc ou adoptee de maniere acritique, cette notion fait le buzz dans la science globale. Suivant une demarche de political ecology qui combine des approches de sociologie des sciences, de geographie politique et de cartographie critique, cet ouvrage propose une analyse critique de la notion de services ecosystemiques et cherche a en delimiter le perimetre de validite. Apres en avoir analyse l’histoire et l’evolution recente, les auteurs analysent son appropriation dans les arenes de la gouvernance environnementale globale et par les ONG critiques de cette gouvernance, ainsi que dans les politiques publiques de pays forestiers tropicaux (Bresil et Gabon). Ces analyses posent les bases d’une analyse critique de la modelisation et de la cartographie de services ecosystemiques fondee a la fois sur une revue de la litterature existante et sur l’analyse de donnees recueillies dans le cadre de fronts pionniers tropicaux (au Bresil et en Colombie).
