Mahasweta Chaudhury: BOUNDS OF FREEDOM. Popper, Liberty and Ecological Rationality, Amsterdam/New York, NY, 2004, 192 pp
Amsterdam/Atlanta, GA 2004.
Dr Chaudhury is concerned to defend what is responsible and hopeful in contemporary ecological thinking, but to avoid the trap of denying that any positive contribution can be made by western science and technology. Critical rationalists do not need to agree with her suggestions and recommendations in order to welcome her positioning of environmental issues alongside the traditional human and political debates about freedom. The Indian perspective that informs this book is particularly impressive and interesting.
