At the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, young Jonathan Livingston Seagull caught the world’s notice as he sought to break beyond the pitiful life of those average mortals populating the earth. Conquering all, entering into the eternal bliss, Jonathan left us, as did this magical spiritual age of enlightenment. What happened? In that era many seagulls emulated Jonathan; their stories never told. But one mighty bird, Johann Earlington, a contemporary of Jonathan, too looked to greater heights, too wanted answers, and too found the ultimate abode; but today, forty years after, his efforts lie in ruins.

The conflict between Religion and Science escalates to the Eco-world. Evidence of climate issues accumulates, yet political forces continue to ignore Earth’s warning signs. How can Climate Specialists and other scientists convince the inhabitants of this world that we each must take deliberate action to heal our planet and its environment? We cannot rely on government participation and funding - especially from the countries where their economy is tightly coupled with fossil fuel production and consumption. Johann covertly attends a climate summit in France and he quickly attracts the attention of several of the attendees who are intrigued by his point of view of Earth. However, unexpected circumstances detain him in Paris; Johann’s quest to become a climate specialist is delayed and redirected. Meanwhile, his security business begins to flourish back home in mid-state New York. His intellectual team begins to make progress with their New Stewardship concept. Though Johann was detained in France for two years, he and his team are making substantial progress with their quest to influence people to heal Earth.
It is widely agreed that to treat some human beings as less worthy of concern and respect than others is to lose sight of their humanity. But what does this moral blindness amount to? The essays in this volume offer a wide range of competing, yet overlapping, answers to this question. Some essays appeal to distinctively human capacities. Others argue that our obligations to one another are ultimately grounded in self-interest, or certain shared interests, or our natural sociability. This rich selection of proposals encourages us to rethink some of our own deepest assumptions about the moral significance of being human.
