Description
This timely collection brings together diverse voices to explore the ethical, social, and cultural dimensions of sustainability. These essays are divided into two sections. The first engages with environmental ethics: examining moral responsibility, justice, Indigenous wisdom, ecofeminism, and the philosophical foundations of human-nature relationships, while the second presents applied case studies on sustainability, addressing topics such as climate anxiety, urban ecological design, rural livelihoods, and the circular economy. The book's regional insights, including empirical research from India, Pakistan, and Turkey, add local depth to global questions. The volume challenges dominant anthropocentric frameworks and highlights alternative approaches. Its interdisciplinary scope, spanning philosophy, psychology, urban planning, and environmental studies, makes it especially valuable for scholars, practitioners and educators seeking to explore sustainability as both an ethical and practical issue. Its thematic range makes it especially suited for academic libraries and institutions supporting programs in environmental studies, philosophy, ethics, development studies, and social sciences.
