Philosophical Ecology: Anthropocentrism as an Epistemological Obstacle
暫譯: 哲學生態學：人類中心主義作為認識論障礙

Ecology, as a descriptive science, is not only a framework for describing biological relations between living beings, but a way of thinking and cognizing entities in transcendental terms. This way of thinking cannot be limited to the descriptive realm because it implies an ontological and epistemological revolution that can no longer be ignored. In this sense, it is essential to speak of a philosophical ecology, which is not to be confused with a fundamentalist view of ecology or as a way of making the descriptive descend into the prescriptive. Rather, the point is to take the form--eco-logical thinking--to inaugurate a different mindset that can be applied to different contexts. In this book, Roberto Marchesini explores the fundamental principles of ecological thinking and shows how they can yield far-reaching philosophical change. He also explores how our way of thinking about reality has influenced our inability to fully understand the current ecological crisis and to become aware of the urgencies it poses.
