Quantum, Process, and Experience Physics and Whitehead Timothy E. Eastman and Hank Keeton Edited by Anthony Weston This collection of germinal work in the field by Anthony Weston presents his pragmatic environmental philosophy, calling for reconstruction and imagination rather than deconstruction and analysis. It is a philosopher’s invitation to environmental ethics in an unexpectedly inviting and down-to-earth key. On the pragmatic view advanced here, environmental values are thoroughly natural—what else could they be?—and are openended and in flux. Rather than passing judgment on the world as it is, we are called to rediscover and remake the world as it might be. We require an environmental etiquette more than a formal ethic; an etiquette whose development must be an ongoing process; and a process in turn that is genuinely multicentric, challenging us to negotiate our place among the exuberant variety of living and other forms. “Over the last two decades Anthony Weston’s work has made a singular contribution to environmental philosophy … Environmental philosophy would be a far poorer field without Weston’s influence.” — Andrew Light, George Mason University and Center for American Progress “Eastman and Keeton have edited a remarkable collection of essays by prominent scientists and philosophers influenced by the process philosophy of A. N. Whitehead … An introduction by the series editor, dialogues at the end of each part of the book, a glossary, bibliography, and an index enhance the quality of this wellproduced volume … Highly recommended.” — CHOICE JANUArY • 322 pp • 4 tables, 5 figures $25.95 pb 978-0-7914-5914-0 PANTONE 453C PANTONE Black 6 C Typeface: Bodoni Roman (title) Eurostile Condensed (author name) Eurostile Medium (lightly screened type) e WHY DEMOCrACY?

Why Democracy? not only reexamines the current debates in normative democratic theory, but also challenges popular conceptions that tend toward an uncritical idealization of popular rule. It is not enough to call for more extensive public deliberation, or for greater participation and inclusion in the democratic process, or for a radical extension of the scope of the process. Making the case for democracy requires examining its imaginative and rhetorical dimensions as well.
