| 中文概述 Chinese Description | 就生態的觀點而言，一個社會得以永續發展的要素是什麼? 有些人也許會說：資源回收桶，污水處理，太陽能板，或者是氫動力車。但是除了這些之外，我們更需要的是以新的思維重新思考人類與自然環境的關係。過去數十年來，越來越多的作家把探討：人類是否可能找到一些可行的路徑，邁向永續的社會，做為他們作品的主題。 回顧現代社會對自然環境所造成的毀滅性影響，問題的根源到底在哪裡﹖為了生態的永續，人們的心態需要如何改變 ﹖除了在統計數字上癌症比例大幅降低或海平面升高之外，奉行「永續」的生活方式到底有什麼好處? 能夠說服人們，讓他們真正意識到必須改變的最佳方法是什麼﹖為了探究和回答這些問題，本課程將閱讀有關永續議題的理論和文學作品，並在課程的後段將視角應用到台灣的現況。 | |||
