Environmental Philosophy - Modern History

Modern History

Environmental Philosophy re-emerged as a major social movement in the 1970s. The movement was an attempt to connect with humanity's sense of alienation from nature in a continuing fashion throughout history. The movement created a divide between the body of writing that is fairly professional; objective, theoretical and academic in nature. This contrasts with a more spiritual and political concern. Environmental Philosophy encompasses each of these positions in the overall study and acknowledgement of the craft.
