Details related to a 2004 meeting of several ecocritics, including Wendell Berry, Wes Jackson, and Bill Vitek, are presented. The author is critical of the group's denunciation of science and emphasis on the limits of human knowledge. It is suggested that the scientific study of biocomplexity and the social, historical, and scientific study of the interdependence of human and natural systems are essential to changing human behavior and educating future generations about sustainability. According to the author, humanist and literary modes of thought will play an important role in the investigation of ideological constructions of nature. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2012 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
