inspire me
Hi everyone, I would like to know what texts (articles, books, etc.) you have read this semester in the environmental humanities that inspired, informed, or surprised you. Please feel free to send me email off the blog: plutynski@philosophy.utah.edu. Thank you! Anya

Thank you all for a great Tertulia discussion last night -
I have another quick note about the passage that we talked about, specifically - "a vision of the common good, principally a new social contract appropriate for our post industrial economy" (213)
I think that this ties in with the discussion we had two nights ago with Leslie Francis "Global Systemic Problems and Interconnected Duties." Her argument related to "genuinely systemic" problems where one group can effectively undo the advances made by another group. I think that this new social contract must consider all socioeconomic levels and all global areas. I will venture to say that this level of consideration is easier said than done.
