Description
Summary:Environmental ontology, as formulated by Arne Naess, includes both an "external side," Ecosophy T and his gestalt framework, and an "internal side" to his project, the "peaceful mind" that accompanies an external transformation of living within a relational community of life. The roots of Ecosophy T are in Spinoza. It may be possible to remedy the shortcomings of Naess' view by extending his view to connect with key ideas in Mahayana Buddhism, show­ing that human nature, the process of realization, and gestalt thinking all cooperate together.
