ABSTRACT
The critique and revisioning elaborated in this book stems from an explanation of process that integrates people and nature through the coevolution of values, knowledge, organization, technology, and the environment. While this understanding of process emphasizes how each of these is influenced by the other, I have given far more emphasis to the coevolution between knowledge and organization than the full process. Some will find I severely slighted the interplay with technology, some will argue that I have not sufficiently documented how environmental systems have coevolved with people, but personally, I am most concerned that I have not written at least a chapter elaborating the interplay with values. The book is cosmologically driven to an end with clear moral implications, but I have not integrated how changes in values selected on changes in knowledge, social organization, or the environment in my critique of modernity and modern philosophy.
