The Philosophy of Water Project

Mission: to approach water issues at the interface of cultural, social-political, philosophic and scientific analyses.

The Philosophy of Water Project explores different aspects of the rising tide of water-problems: water-scarcity, quality and quantity of reserves, restoration of riparian areas, and the cultural perceptions of water. WaterWays is an interdisciplinary program that seeks to bring together scientists, philosophers, politicians, artists, managers and specialists from both the public and private sector, encouraging dialogue across traditional boundaries. Through an intermixture of annual class offerings, biennial conferences, and on-going research, WaterWays works to offer new approaches for comprehending the relationship between humans, natural ecosystems, and water.

The Philosophy of Water Project is made possible by a generous grant from the Dixon Foundation of Dallas, TX, and with the on-going support from the Department of Philosophy at the University of North Texas-Denton.

Launched September 2003 at the Department of Philosophy of the University of North Texas by Professor Irene J. Klaver and The Dixon Foundation of Dallas, TX.

Program Director: Prof. Irene J. Klaver, Ph.D., Dept of Philosophy.
