Recenzii
"In recent years, many moral philosophers have returned to the idea of virtue in the hope of filling gaps left by traditional consequentialist and deontological ethics. This suggestive and wide-ranging book takes that approach in the direction of environmental ethics, providing answers to questions left unresolved by economic cost-benefit analysis."–Roger Crisp, University of Oxford, UK
"Mark Charlesworth argues powerfully that virtue ethics, as well as better science, is key to better climate policy. Specifically, he argues that moderation of production and consumption is essential for sustainability. The book is truly transdisciplinary, and Charlesworth demonstrates a deep understanding of natural science, philosophy and social science in arriving at his conclusions."–Andy Dobson, Keele University, UK
"It’s hard to find a book with as much breadth and ambition than Charlesworth’s Transdisciplinary Solutions for Sustainable Development. He resolutely insists we go ‘back to basics’ concerning the the hubristic presumption of the possibility of predicting our socio-environmental futures, and thus of modelling and managing the planet for sustainability, and the need thus to embed approaches to sustainability firmly in reconstructed ethics, epistemology and expanded participation in socio-environmental decision making. He never uses the word but this is an invaluable contribution to thinking about the politics of the anthropocene." –Matthew Paterson, University of Ottowa, Canada
"This book is part of a new generation of transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary sustainability research. Just as it has long been part of the thinking of green/sustainability advocates that we need a new worldview, values and culture to help make the transition from unsustainability, Charlesworth’s book convincingly makes the argument for new paradigms in research and thinking about that transition. Integrating, inter alia, climate and ecological science, environmental management, political theory, earth system science, ethics and philosophy, Transdisciplinary Solutions is a real tour de force. Transdisciplinary Solutions not only challenges us to rethink how we think about unsustainability, but suggest solutions to unsustainability, and how we might begin to move towards global sustainable development. This opens up the possibility that many of the solutions to unsustainability may be found not in transforming or managing the earth (as often suggested by ‘anthropocene dreams’ such as ‘geo-engineering’), but managing our relationship to and (always incomplete) understanding of our planetary home."–John Barry, Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland

Descriere
This book characterises the current limitations of scientific prediction for global environmental issues. It presents a review of the epistemology of this policy field including current policy responses (e.g. to abrupt climate change) then suggests potential ethical and policy implications and resolutions. Specifically, it has developed innovative approaches to respond to these difficulties in prediction, which should also allow sustainable development policy to be more democratic, plural and open in line with Agenda 21.
