This new edition of a widely used and cited introduction to ethics
and the environment offers a broad and lively discussion of
nature's future, focusing on climate change, conservation, and
justice for both our contemporaries and future generations. It
discusses the nature of environmental problems and their
relationship to economics, religion, technology, and
aesthetics. It includes incisive discussions of our moral
relations with other animals, and of how animals are used in our
food systems. It also provides a deep discussion of the value of
nature, which takes up ecofeminist and deep ecology views as well
as sentientism and biocentrism. It discusses the plurality
of values, and applies this analysis to some conflicts from the
author's home state of California. The volume is
comprehensively revised and updated, with several new chapters, and
concludes with a compelling discussion of the question “How
should I live?” in this new epoch of the Anthropocene.
