Dominic Hyde is a philosophy lecturer at the University of Queensland. Before working in Queensland, he pursued doctoral work and later lectured at The Australian National University. His academic work focuses chiefly on issues in logic and metaphysics, with a particular emphasis on non-classical logic and paradox, and he has published books and numerous articles in major international journals in the field. Recent work has also been directed towards environmental philosophy, especially the pioneering work of Sylvan and Plumwood. He lives in a small house in the subtropical forest outside Brisbane.
As the years pass and turn to stone, the eco-political vision of Sylvan and Plumwood remains further from realization than ever; but this book confirms the power of that vision, its place in Australia's intellectual history, and ultimately the need for the world one day to wake up to it. John Dryzek, in Australian Journal of Politics and History
