AbstractThis essay argues for considering the Earth Charter as a text requiring ongoing interpretation, embodying a philosophic worldview (or worldviews) needing continuous exploration. The author off ers his own interpretations, explorations, and critiques of the Earth Charter from a philosophical naturalist perspective, centrally informed by evolutionary biology and ecology, which hefi nds insuffi ciently presented in the Earth Charter as it presently stands.
