From taken-for-granted values and perceptions to embodied, existential modes of engaging our world, human perspectives impact decision-making and behavior. The Wonder of Water explores how human experience - from embodied cultural paradigms to value systems and personal biases - impact decisions around water. In many ways, the volume expands on the growing field of water ethics to include questions around environmental aesthetics, psychology, and ontology. And yet this book is not simply for philosophers. On the contrary, a specific aim is to explore how more informed philosophical dialogue will lead to more insightful public policies and practices. Case studies describe specific architectural and planning decisions, fisheries policies, urban ecological restorations and more. The overarching phenomenological perspective, however, means that these discussions emerge within a sensibility toward the foundational significance of human embodiment, culture, language, worldviews, and, ultimately, moral attunement to place."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Environmental ethics. 650 0 $a Water consumption $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Water resources development $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Water-supply $x Moral and ethical aspects. $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Water conservation. 650 0 $a Water $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Water and civilization. 650 0 $a Right to water. 650 0 $a Water security. 700 1 $a Leman-Stefanovic, Ingrid, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303023455.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4073857E5D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
