Ecology, Ethics, and Hope explores what hope is, how it operates,
and whether or not it is important in our response to ecological
challenges like climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss,
and pollution. The book offers an accessible and timely overview of
this emerging topic within environmental ethics, a platform for
further discussion, and refinement of the notion of hope. Hope has
started to receive more theoretical attention from philosophers and
social scientists. In light of worsening ecological conditions, the
concept of hope may offer motivation for us to change our
destructive ways and conserve the ecosystem goods and systems we
depend on. The authors in this collection take stock of the various
accounts of what hope is (or is not), what it does (or does not),
and how relevant it is to ecological thinking. The book covers
topics including the psychology of hope (how it might operate and
change minds), hope as a motivator of positive action, and hope's
essence in the context of a virtue- or obligation-focused morality.
