Bowman investigates how Thoreau's writings and philosophies have influenced environmental movements, political activism, and broader societal understandings of nature and human interaction with the environment. Through a detailed examination of Thoreau's works, Bowman shows how imagination and literary expression shape political thought concerning nature, conservation, and ecological responsibility. He argues that imagination plays a crucial role in transforming environmental issues into political actions and policies. Bowman situates Thoreau's ideas within the broader context of environmental political thought and discusses how subsequent thinkers have interpreted and expanded upon these concepts. The book explores key themes such as the role of nature in human consciousness, the ethics of environmental preservation, and the political implications of ecological awareness. By engaging with literature, philosophy, and political theory, Bowman offers a compelling analysis of how imagination drives the development of environmental consciousness and its political significance in the modern world. This work is an essential contribution to the study of environmental philosophy, political theory, and the relationship between literature and politics.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Imagination and Environmental Political Thought: The Aftermath of Thoreau seeks to correct oversimplified readings of Henry David Thoreaus political thought by elucidating a key tension within his imagination. With the celebration of Thoreaus two-hundredth birthday now past, this study outlines, and builds on, his own understanding of imagination and considers its implications for environmental politics.Despite the use of the word, aftermath, Thoreaus legacy for environmental political thought is primarily constructive and foundational for modern environmentalism. Thoreaus virtues and vices have been inherited by his environmentally-conscious readers. The author of Waldens preference for an abstract, ahistorical higher law, his radical concept of autonomy, and his frustration with government and community foster an impractical political thought characteristic of an idyllic imagination. Nevertheless, Thoreau demonstrates a more prudential and moral imagination by emphasizing the inescapable relationship between the moral order of individuals and the order of political communities and by pioneering the central questions of humanitys relationship to non-human nature. Can this tension of imaginations be resolved? What are the consequences of this tension? Thoreaus overall vision ultimately creates significant problems with which environmentalists still struggle. While Thoreaus emphasis on freedom and the immaterial aspects of human and non-human nature are of considerable value, his abstract political morality, misanthropy and escapism must be resisted both for the sake of environmental well-being and human dignity.In addition, this book is an exercise in re-thinking how the humanities may provide scholars critical insights to better diagnose and respond to the environmental challenges of our time. This book explores and evaluates Henry David Thoreaus political thought through the lens of a theory of imagination and considers his legacy for later environmental thought. This book will interest anyone curious about Thoreaus relationship to environmentalism and the intersection of environmental humanities and politics. This item is printed on demand.
