Abstract:
"This text approaches the study of the environment from two disciplines...sociology and philosophy. Both sociologists and philosophers have concerns about our environment's ability not only to sustain itself, but also to reach a point where it can thrive. It examines the differences between "sustainability" and "thrivability" and discusses sociological and philosophical environmentalism, the ecosystem, and mass extinctions"..
