In Nature Ethics: An Ecofeminist Perspective, Marti Kheel explores
the underlying worldview of nature ethics, offering an alternative
ecofeminist perspective. She focuses on four prominent
representatives of holist philosophy: two early conservationists
(Theodore Roosevelt and Aldo Leopold) and two contemporary
philosophers (Holmes Rolston III, and transpersonal ecologist
Warwick Fox). Kheel argues that in directing their moral allegiance
to abstract constructs (e.g. species, the ecosystem, or the
transpersonal Self) these influential nature theorists represent a
masculinist orientation that devalues concern for individual
animals. Seeking to heal the divisions among the seemingly
disparate movements and philosophies of feminism, animal advocacy,
environmental ethics, and holistic health, Kheel proposes an
ecofeminist philosophy that underscores the importance of empathy
and care for individual beings as well as larger wholes.
