| Description | This essay attempts something a little peculiar: a study of the genesis of a concept within discourses which did not, in fact, use the word. This is at least true of “sustainability” in English. The emergence of the German equivalent,Nachhaltigkeit, which might also be expressed by the idea of “lasting-ness”, is, however, usually dated to the use of the wordnachhalthendeby Hanns Carl von Carlowitz in hisSylvicultura oeconomicaof 1713, the first great forestry manual of the eighteenth century. In fact, the term can be found in the 1650s. |
