This is the first introductory anthology on the philosophy of
ecology edited by an ecologist and a philosopher. It illustrates
the range of philosophical approaches available to ecologists and
provides a basis for understanding the thinking on which many of
today's environmental ideas are founded. Collectively, these
seminal readings make a powerful statement on the value of
ecological knowledge and thinking in alleviating the many problems
of modern industrial civilization.
Issues covered include: the challenges of defining scientific
ecology, tracing its genealogy, and distinguishing the science from
various forms of "ecological-like" thinking the ontology of
ecological entities and processes selected concepts of community,
stability, diversity, and niche the methodology of ecology
(rationalism and empiricism, reductionism and holism) the
significance of evolutionary law for ecological science
