In this collection of essays, leading environmentalists and
philosophers explore the relationship between environmental ethics
and policy, both in theory and practice. The first section of the
book focuses on four approaches to change in ethical theory:
ecological science, feminist metaphysics, Chinese philosophy, and
holistic postmodern technology. In subsequent sections the
contributors emphasize the need for nontraditional solutions and
attempt to expand awareness of the most pressing practical
problems. Among the topics discussed are the possibilities of real
international cooperation, the inequitable but economically
intractable issue of global gasses, the political and ethical
challenges of city planning, and the growing evidence of
fundamental inappropriateness in treating land as legal private
property. This volume is based on essays presented in 1992 at the
Second International Conference on Ethics and Environmental Policy.
The conference was held in response to the increasing need for a
new ethics that would counter the traditional human-centered,
dominantly individualistic approach of the industrial world toward
the environment.
