Life Style: A Parable of Sharing

Horace Dammers explores the structural connection between our personal and individual use of the earth's resources, and the great issues of peace, justice and the environment. He poses Kant's three fundamental questions: What Can I Know?, What Ought I to Do?, and What May I Hope? He states the need for a simple lifestyle in the face of the demands of a global capitalist consumerist culture. He shows how the foundation and growth of the Life Style Movement, and other 'downshifting' movements of a similar kind, has provided the necessary mutual support for people determined in the face of all odds to leave the world a better place than they find it.
