Philosophy professor (semi-retired) specialising in Daoist thought, arguably the first environmental philosophers who anticipated our current predicament about 2,300 years ago! Although my expertise is in Chinese philosophy, I began teaching a course on Environmental Philosophy because I believe it is the most important thing I could be teaching: how to understand the human relationship to the rest of Nature; how some worldviews and presuppositions lead almost inevitably to disastrous consequences, and how other philosophical worldviews might offer an antidote. I discovered Doughnut economics while learning about degrowth economics. Just saw a video of Kate Raworth at the EU conference on post-growth earlier this year, was inspired by her interview with Nate Hagens, and am eager to find out more about the Action Lab.
