Environmental Ethics is a systematic account of values carried by
the natural world, coupled with an inquiry into duties toward
animals, plants, species, and ecosystems. A comprehensive
philosophy of nature is illustrated by and integrated with numerous
actual examples of ethical decisions made in encounters with fauna
and flora, endangered species, and threatened ecosystems. The
ethics developed is informed throughout by ecological science and
evolutionary biology, with attention to the logic of moving from
what is in nature to what ought to be. The ethical theory is
applied in detail to social, public, and business policy. Written
in an engaging style, using diagrams and figures as well as
numerous case studies, Environmental Ethics prods the reader into
concrete application and invites reader participation in the
ethical discussions. The ethics concludes by exploring the
historical experiences of personal residence in a surrounding
environment. Here is an adventure into what it means to live as
responsible human beings in the community of life on Earth.
