Overview

In the light of the looming ecological crisis facing the world today, much of the stunning beauty of the natural world is being lost forever.

Through discussions of numerous fields including the philosophy of science, environmental ethics, rationalism, and Eastern and Western religion, Griffin asserts that Beauty itself may be the catalyst needed to save the globe from destruction.
