This introduction to the philosophy of the environment examines
current debates on how we should think about the natural world and
our place within it. The subject is examined from a determinedly
analytic philosophical perspective, focusing on questions of value,
but taking in attendant issues in epistemology and metaphysics as
well. The book begins by considering the nature, extent and origin
of the environmental problems with which we need to be concerned.
Chapters go on to consider familiar strategies for dealing with
environmental problems, and then consider what sort of things are
of direct moral concern, examining in turn at animals, non-sentient
life-forms, natural but non-living things and deep ecology. The
final part of the book investigates notions of value, natural
beauty and the place of human beings in the scheme of things.
