This text consists, in Part One, of 14 philosophical essays about nature and human nature: classical Greek and modern West, natural and supernatural, myth and imagination, Taoist, Buddhist and Christian, scientific and ethical. In Part Two there are ten papers by Erazim Kohak, for whom the book is a celebration. These are selected to present Kohak's seminal approach to understanding men and women living in societies within their natural environment. The focus of the book is on philosophical ecology: Whose nature? which morality? and on Kohak's feeling for a "moral sense of Nature". The authors are Klaus Brinkmann, Stanley Rosen, David Eckel, Livia Kohn, Alfred Tauber, Lawrence Cahoone, Tienyu Cao, Robert Neville, Abner Shimony, Alan Olson, Alfred Ferrarin, Krzysztof Michalski and Stephen Scully. There is a full bibliography of Erazim Kohak, now Professor of Philosophy at the Charles University, Prague, and emeritus at Boston University. This text is designed to appeal widely to social ethics groups (sociology, and religious organizations), existentialists and phenomenological programs, historians of ideas in general and of ethics in particular, science and society centers, and women's studies.
