dbpprop:abstract
  • Edward René David Goldsmith (November 8, 1928, Paris, France – August 21, 2009, Siena, Italy) was an Anglo-French environmentalist, writer and philosopher. The eldest son of Major Frank Goldsmith, and elder brother of the financier Sir James Goldsmith, Edward Goldsmith was the founding editor and publisher of The Ecologist. Well known for his outspoken views opposing industrial society and economic development, he articulated a deep sympathy for the ways and values of traditional peoples. He co-authored the influential Blueprint for Survival with Robert Prescott-Allen, becoming a founding member of the political party "People" (later renamed the Green Party), itself largely inspired by the Blueprint. Goldsmith's conservative view of environmentalism put him at odds with the more liberal currents of thought that came to dominate the British Green Party. A deep ecologist and systems theorist, Goldsmith was an early proponent of the Gaia thesis, having previously developed a similar cybernetic concept of a self-regulating biosphere. A talented after-dinner speaker and raconteur, Goldsmith was an articulate spokesman and campaigner, receiving a number of awards for his work protecting the natural world and highlighting the importance and plight of indigenous peoples, including an honorary Right Livelihood Award and the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur.
