Philosophies of Environmental Education and Democracy: Harris, Dewey, and Bateson on Human Freedoms in Nature cover

The project examines how three prominent philosophers of education - William Torrey Harris, John Dewey, and Gregory Bateson - each developed a world view that provides a philosophical basis for environmental education.

“Watras (education, Univ. of Dayton) argues the need for an alternative ethical framework for American democracy that offsets the ongoing process of environmental destruction these values engender. … Watras’s book is important reading for anyone interested in the problem of environmental destruction. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers.” (J. A. Fischel, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
