The Natural Contract

I recently attended Michel Serres first anglo appearnce at Memorial University in St. John's Newfoundland. `The Natural Contract' is a way of thinking and behaving as human beings should with Nature via a Natural Contract (i.e., an extension of contracterian philosophy). The idea is so simple and affecting, the writing so beautiful and clear, that this shouts for more attention. Serres the man is beautiful and kind and his `Natural Contract' is a good antedote for much of the radicalism in environmental ethics/animal rights these days.
