Safeguarding Our Common Future - Rethinking Sustainable Development

Utilizes Heidegger in rethinking common environmental paradigms.
This book examines how a phenomenological approach helps move us closer toward safeguarding our common future by evolving a more originative and informed way of thinking about the foundations of sustainable development. Phenomenology, as conceived by Heidegger, enlarges and deepens our ways of thinking about sustainable development and offers a unique methodology of environmental policy development and planning.
