Constructing a Global Community : An Exploration in Environmental Ethics

Abstract

Inspired by two works, The Liberation of Life by Charles Birch and John B. Cobb, Jr. and For the Common Good by John B. Cobb, Jr. and Herman E. Daly, the author reviews the concepts of community in biology and human interaction, how those concepts are used to model our environment, our economy, and politics, and how these systems could be changed.
