In the fifty years since the publication of ‘The Limits to Growth’, an inconceivably endless pool of ideas on how to respond to our ecological crisis has emerged. This book provides guidance by ...offering a comprehensive and in-depth look at the landscape of ecologically motivated political ideas, focusing on the discourse in German-speaking countries. Major currents of green political thought are presented and linked to their thought leaders. The book discusses the crucial dividing lines between these competing positions and analyses their development over time. It thus provides a significant contribution to exploring the field of green political thought and thereby strengthens the theoretical foundation of today’s discourses on ecological transformation.
Bonaventure’s metaphysical thought and his interpretation of Aristotle Contemporary scholarship on Bonaventure has characterized him as the Neo-platonic foil to the Aristotelianism of his day. The ...present book, however, shows a Bonaventure who is highly enthusiastic about utilizing the philosophy of Aristotle and who centers much of his philosophical project around interpreting and understanding the texts of Aristotle. Two goals are central to this book. The first is to shed light on Bonaventure’s greatly understudied ontology and theory of forms, demonstrating how his philosophical system is an important and unique alternative to other medieval Aristotelian systems. The second is to establish, more broadly, how Bonaventure’s interpretation of Aristotle is a resource which should be mined for contemporary efforts in thinking about and reading Aristotle himself.

What are the philosophical views of contemporary professional philosophers? We surveyed many professional philosophers in order to help determine their views on 30 central philosophical issues. This ...article documents the results. It also reveals correlations among philosophical views and between these views and factors such as age, gender, and nationality. A factor analysis suggests that an individual's views on these issues factor into a few underlying components that predict much of the variation in those views. The results of a metasurvey also suggest that many of the results of the survey are surprising: philosophers as a whole have quite inaccurate beliefs about the distribution of philosophical views in the profession.
