The Virtues of Sustainability
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-091982-5 (ISBN)
This volume, divided into three sections, brings together newly-commissioned essays by leading scholars from multiple disciplines--from philosophy and political science, to religious studies and psychology. The essays in the first section focus on key factors and structures that support the cultivation of the virtues of sustainability, while those in the second focus in particular on virtues embraced by non-Western communities and cultures, and the worldviews that underlie them. Finally, the essays in the third section each address further particular virtues of sustainability, including cooperativeness, patience, conscientiousness, creativity, and open-mindedness.
Together, these essays provide readers with a rich understanding of the importance and diversity of the virtues of sustainability, and practical guidance towards their cultivation.
Jason Kawall is the Carl Benton Straub '58 Endowed Chair in Culture and the Environment, and Professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies at Colgate University.

He has published extensively in these and related areas, with his work appearing in such journals as American Philosophical Quarterly, Canadian Journal of Philosophy, Environmental Ethics, Ethics, Policy & Environment, and Philosophical Studies, and in several edited collections.
