      Chapter 2： Worldviews and ethical values

                     — towards an ecological paradigm

This chapter examines a wide range of academic and policy writing on sustainable development, attempting in the process to offer a critical evaluation of the many worldviews, values and perspectives.A worldview can be understood as a set of beliefs and assumptions about life and reality that influence the way we think and behave.Worldviews help us describe the reality before us and they encompass many assumptions about such things as human nature, the meaning and value of life, society, and much more. 

Consequently, a number of philosophical and ideological contributions to our belief of what sustainability and sustainable development may mean or become are constitutive elements of a global dialogue on the future we want.

Therefore， after you have learned this chapter , you can 

1. understand some worldviews, values and perspectives on sustainable development  given by a wide range of academic and policy writing;

2. offer a critical evaluation of the many worldviews, values and perspectives on sustainable development  given by a wide range of academic and policy writing;

3. construct your own worldviews, values and perspectives on sustainable development.
