"Environmental Philosophy in Asian Traditions of Thought" provides
a welcome sequel to the foundational volume in Asian environmental
ethics "Nature in Asian Traditions of Thought." That volume, edited
by J. Baird Callicott and Roger T. Ames and published in 1989,
inaugurated comparative environmental ethics, adding Asian thought
on the natural world to the developing field of environmental
philosophy. This new book, edited by Callicott and James McRae,
includes some of the best articles in environmental philosophy from
the perspective of Asian thought written more recently, some of
which appear in print for the first time.
Leading scholars draw from the Indian, Chinese, and Japanese
traditions of thought to provide a normative ethical framework that
can address the environmental challenges being faced in the
twenty-first century. Hindu, Buddhist, Confucian, and Daoist
approaches are considered along with those of Zen, Japanese
Confucianism, and the contemporary philosophy of the Kyoto School.
An investigation of environmental philosophy in these Asian
traditions not only challenges Western assumptions, but also
provides an understanding of Asian philosophy, religion, and
culture that informs contemporary environmental law and policy.
