In this thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the highly
successful "Ecological Ethics," Patrick Curry shows that a new and
truly ecological ethic is both possible and urgently needed. With
this distinctive proposition in mind, Curry introduces and
discusses all the major concepts needed to understand the full
range of ecological ethics.
He discusses light green or anthropocentric ethics with the
examples of stewardship, lifeboat ethics, and social ecology; the
mid-green or intermediate ethics of animal liberation/rights; and
dark or deep green ecocentric ethics. Particular attention is given
to the Land Ethic, the Gaia Hypothesis and Deep Ecology and its
offshoots: Deep Green Theory, Left Biocentrism and the Earth
Manifesto. Ecofeminism is also considered and attention is paid to
the close relationship between ecocentrism and virtue ethics. Other
chapters discuss green ethics as post-secular, moral pluralism and
pragmatism, green citizenship, and human population in the light of
ecological ethics. In this new edition, all these have been updated
and joined by discussions of climate change, sustainable economies,
education, and food from an ecocentric perspective.
This comprehensive and wide-ranging textbook offers a radical
but critical introduction to the subject which puts ecocentrism and
the critique of anthropocentrism back at the top of the ethical,
intellectual and political agenda. It will be of great interest to
students and activists, and to a wider public.
