Om denne bog

In Environmental Legacies of the Copernican Universe, Jean-Marie Kauth shows how counter-ecological metaphors sprung from the cosmology of the Copernican Revolution influence us still in unexpected, maladaptive ways, nurturing conceptions of the world that are not only incorrect but enabling of ecocide. She argues that although, of course, no one cause can be responsible for the kinds of environmental degradation we are seeing, grasping these underlying paradigms may help us to alter our thinking and make the radical transformations needed to counter the forward motion of our capitalist, post-industrial society, which continues hurtling toward civilizational suicide. She further argues that although not offered as a simple antidote, and with the potential evils of medieval hierarchy acknowledged, there is merit in re-envisioning the cosmos with the holistic, spherical imagination of the Middle Ages, figured in circles, cycles, epicycles, equants: a whole, enclosed, integrated world. This book offers a new perspective on the power of images and metaphors to shape the way humans see the universe and their own role in it.
