Patriotism to the Earth
A Quest for Humane Global Governance 2025
Richard A Falk with Sasha Milonova
This book of essays is preoccupied with the contrast between prevailing loyalty to the sovereign state—patriotism—and an emergent alternative of loyalty to the species and its natural habitat. Such an orientation toward ecological patriotism focuses on conditions of human survival, ecological stability, and cosmological awareness in the Age of the Anthropocene. It is a patriotism guided by empirical and normative assessments regarding the deficiencies of the existing world order and its inability to provide the biological, economic, political, ecological, cultural, ethical, and spiritual foundations for the future viability of life on earth.
