Biography
Jenneth Parker is Research Director at the Schumacher Institute for Sustainable Systems, UK
"Overall, Parker deserves great credit for suggesting ways in which philosophy can contribute to sustainability research. Indeed, I very much welcome the aspiration to utilize philosophy not only to critique the foundations of such research (where this is called for) but also to strengthen transdisciplinary research. As profound socio-economic changes to make the societies in the overdeveloped part of the world environmentally sustainable are more urgently needed than ever, I hope that Critiquing Sustainability will be widely read among philosophers." – Journal of Critical Realism, Hubert Buch-Hansen, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
