A review by cetian
Biophilia by Edward O. Wilson
5.0
A beautiful essay in humanism that sugests we search for a new ethic confirming an afinity with all life. A work that asserts science as a precious tool to observe and apreciate the natural world.
Very inspiring these days when misantrophy is almost the obvious partner of ecological despair. And many fantasize about how better off the biosphere would be without humans.
Wonderful writting, mixing the love of science and a passion for human culture. Its descriptions of nature, both in its intrinsic beauty and in our enjoyment of it are great literature. There is an uncompromising pragmatism that never gives room to cynicism. In a way, this work can also be a great impulse to tune the philosophy of science with bioethics.
