Ecologizing Education References Index"ReviewsAt this critical juncture when our anthropocentric relationship to nature foreshadows imminent planetary destruction, Michael Bonnett's eloquently written and exhaustively researched book is required reading. The philosophical and ecological issues addressed are global in scope, and Bonnett's analysis will appeal to international scholars and students. Incorporating ecological philosophy and environmental ethics, Bonnett ambitiously pushes the boundaries of eco-phenomenology in unique ways and offers a tightly argued eco-philosophy that is grand in scope and holistic, presenting solutions for transcending the anthropocentric grip of scientism attuning our current relationship with the natural world. The inclusion of thoughtful vignettes, providing content for phenomenological description and analysis, puts the reader in touch with imaginative and transformative experiences of nature. The book confronts a multiplicity of issues, including: (1) Nature as a self-rising, intrinsically normative phenomenon, (2) Human self-hood grounded in an attuned relationship to the natural world, and (3) Ecologizing education, which is the re-envisioning of standardized education based on a renewed relationship with nature. Dr. James M. Magrini, author of Ethical Responses to Nature's Call (Routledge), College of Dupage Author InformationMichael Bonnett has published widely in the field of philosophy of education, giving particular attention to ideas of learning, thinking, personal authenticity, and the character of the teacher–pupil relationship in education. His book Children's Thinking: Promoting Understanding in the Primary School (1994) explored the importance of poetic thinking for education. More recently, his focus has been on aspects of sustainability and environmental education, including developing a phenomenology of nature and exploring ways in which human consciousness is inherently environmental. His book Retrieving Nature: Education for a Post-Humanist Age was published in 2004, and his edited collection Moral Education and Environmental Concern was published in 2014 by Routledge.
