"This book demonstrates how the philosophy of science can enhance our understanding
of sustainability and the practices we use to enact it. Examining assumptions about
concepts, theories, evidence, and the moral ideals of sustainability can better orient
us as we pursue this urgent and important goal. The book applies perspectives and
tools from the philosophy of science - construed broadly to include portions of science
and technology studies, history of science, and philosophy more generally - to sustainability
discourse. It argues that widely-held assumptions regarding the meaning of concepts,
methods of theorizing and inferential practice, evidential structure, and ethics limit
our understanding and practice of sustainability. It offers philosophical alternatives
that capture more fully the confusing, wicked nature of sustainability challenges.
The alternatives draw attention to existing, but often undervalued, frameworks in
sustainability discourse. This book is aimed towards academics, researchers, and post-graduates
working in sustainability, as well as philosophers of science and environmental philosophers
interested in the philosophical issues raised by the pursuit of sustainability"
