Description
Author Biography
Table of Contents
Google Preview: This book explores the placement of human beings, a "betweenness" that elicits the fact that human communication is the mediation between one's intellectual, moral, and political experience. Aaron K. Kerr explores the relationship between nature and culture, exposing the obscurities caused by technology and economic dogmatism. A renewal of the mediatory role of human communication is juxtaposed to the immediacy of digital consumption. The author reveals that to redress ecological distress, there must be an equal awareness, sense of place, and regional responsibility for built environments which value nature. By situating philosophy and communication within the scientific consensus of the anthropocene, the author clearly indicates the necessary mediations between fact and value, science and religion, local and global, nature and culture. Scholars of philosophy, rhetoric, environmental ethics, and global bioethics will find this book of particular interest.; Aaron K. Kerr is associate professor of philosophy at Gannon University.; Contents Acknowledgments Introduction: Mediation as Human Vocation Chapter One: Mediation One: Admissions Chapter Two: Mediation Two: Admonishments Chapter Three: Mediation Three: Appeals Chapter Four: Mediation Four: Aesthetics Chapter Five: Meditation Five: Aspirations Bibliography Index; Google Preview content
