      title = {Philosophy as practice in the ecological emergency : an  exploration of urgent matters /},
      abstract = {This book critically explores philosophy as a practice.  Philosophy is both a process of re-examining the grounds on  which our beliefs and attitudes about the world are based,  and in its older role, is the deliberation on how to live.  The context for this exploration is the ecological  emergency: climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution,  and all the other impacts of the Anthropocene, and also our  social and political reactions to these. The book examines,  from a multiplicity of perspectives, how we see ourselves,  and the more-than-human world, and how these views  influence our capacity to respond to the urgent and  critical issues that we now face. The central argument of  the book is that philosophy is both a way of seeing what is  going on, and a practical engagement with that  understanding. Dr Lucy Weir, the editor of this collection,  was mentored by the late Emeritus Professor Barbara  Harrell-Bond (founder of The Refugee Studies Programme,  Oxford University). Harrell-Bond emphasised the value and  importance of a multidisciplinary approach, combining  scholarship, policy and practice. This work echoes those  aims. Weirs publications include Fleeing Vesuvius (New  Society, 2011, contributing author) and Love is Green:  compassion as responsibility in the ecological emergency  (Vernon Press, 2019). The biographies of the distinguished  list of contributors is included in the text.},
