Sommario/riassunto

Starting from an epistemological approach implicit in Rachel Carson's scientific practice, this book presents the creative restructuring resources of ecology for a theory of knowledge. It critiques the instrumental rationality, abstract individualism and exploitation of people and places legitimated by western epistemologies.
