This volume focuses on 'fittingness' as an ethical-aesthetical
idea, and in particular examines how the concept is beneficial for
environmental ethics. It brings together an innovative set of
contributions to argue that fittingness is a significant but
under-investigated facet of human ethical deliberation with both
ethical and aesthetic dimensions. Individuals and communities make
numerous decisions about courses of action which are informed by
judgements of 'fit'. 'Fittingness' denotes a relation between
conscious embodied persons and their habitats and is of relevance
to judgements about how humans shape, and take up with, the
non-human environment, and hence to ethical decisions about the
development and use of the environment and non-human creatures.
Fittingness interacts powerfully with a whole cluster of relational
and moral terms - such as appropriateness, prudence, temperance,
mutuality - that the book suggests can be of great benefit in
reframing human relationships to the non-human.
