Part XV: The Environment

In good time, I have just submitted a draft of (click here) Part XV of A New Metaphysics -- about our natural environment, or nature. For most of recorded history, the natural environment has not been critical to metaphysics. This is for the simple reason that humanity, until recently, has not had the power to encroach on the environment to such an extent as to threaten it. For this reason, too, a philosophical basis for the preservation of the environment has been wanting. This is my attempt to fill the gap, in terms of a complete explanatory scheme. OBSERVATION: This represents one more installment of a major project I am developing for Philosophical Investigations, the sister publication of The Philosopher, the journal of the Philosophical Society of England.
