Integrating environmental conservation and economics
by Beverly Kracher
Interdisciplinary Environmental Review (IER), Vol. 2, No. 2, 2000

Abstract: John Dewey argued that the field of philosophy is useful only if it can solve the central, strategic problems of the day. Taking Dewey's remarks to heart, I show that philosophy is indeed useful for connecting environmental and economic concerns in order to promote global, sustainable development. In this paper I use ordinary language philosophy and pragmatism to explore the varieties of integration patterns. I challenge environmental researchers to examine their integration patterns in order to better understand their own views and abilities to work with others to promote sustainable development on a global scale.
