Ecology, objectivity and critique in writings on nature and human societies

Auteur :
DEMERITT, D.

Description :
Inspired by the Green Movement and invoking many of the analytical concepts of ecological science, environmental historians have offered criticisms of modern society and its relation with nature. Revisionists in ecological science have repudiated the idea of stable and holistic ecosystems. Historians should end their search for foundational authority and appeal instead to diverse criteria to arbitrate between particular situations.
