In Defense of Nature

The newest book from benjamin wiker . . .

Picture
Ecology calls to mind nature "out there" —trees, rivers, oceans, animals, birds, the air, distinct ecosystems. But as Benjamin Wiker argues, an obvious part of nature has been mysteriously left out of the environmental movement: our own nature—human nature, especially its essential moral aspects.
In Defense of Nature shows that while both nature and human nature are equally important, there is a significant obstacle threatening the acceptance of this expanded account of ecology. The Left understands the exquisite, delicate harmony of the natural order, and why environmental pollution is harmful. The Right understands the exquisite, delicate harmony of the human moral order, and why moral pollution is harmful. Each side will tell you how very little a deviation it takes to cause disaster to the natural or to the moral order. But each refuses to see the other's argument.
In Defense of Nature allows both the Left and the Right to see what the other sees so clearly, and how it all fits together, from toxic landfills and global warming, to internet addiction and human trafficking.

Praise for In Defense of Nature

“Dr. Wiker does more than decry the physical, chemical, and moral pollution of our way of life—the open sewer to which we have become accustomed. He calls us to return to a saner vision of the world and man's place in it, a vision which will bring us real delight, rather than what the pornographic hyper-palatable
corn-oil products we consume promise and never deliver.”
                                                                                           —Anthony Esolen, Author, Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture

“In Defense of Nature’s timely, humorous, blunt, and sometimes disturbing account of humanity’s self-destructive trends reveals that a great part of their underlying cause is moral in nature.
An eye-opener for anyone on the Left—or the Right.”
                                                                                                              —Michael Augros, Ph.D., Author, Who Designed the Designer?
