Human Ecology, Society and Communication

Abstract

I am, perhaps unfortunately, not going to reveal anything particularly new or develop any new thesis, because I am not really concerned with the margins of my particular discipline. I am concerned, in fact, to consolidate a movement that I think is extremely valuable and which will need the help of all those people, who are not normally accessible to the aspirations and the needs of the sort of people that I want to talk about. I believe this is extremely important to the Commonwealth Human Ecology Council and what I want to argue is that the movement for the care of human ecology must be rooted in the political realities of community if it is to have a practical outcome. And that broadly, and rather simply, is the purpose of this disquisition.
