The environmental crisis creates an unprecedented moral
predicament: how to be a good person when our collective and
individual actions contribute to immeasurable devastation and
suffering. Drawing on an extraordinary range of sources from
philosophy, political theory, global religion, ecology, and
contemporary spirituality, Roger S. Gottlieb explores the ethical
ambiguities, challenges, and opportunities we face. Engagingly
written, intellectually rigorous, and forcefully argued, this
volume investigates the moral value of nature; the possibility of
an 'ecological' democracy; how we treat animals; the demands and
limits of individual responsibility and collective political
change; contemporary ambiguities of rationality; and how to face
environmental despair. In Morality and the Environmental Crisis,
Gottlieb combines compassion for the difficulties of contemporary
moral life with an unflinching ethical commitment to awareness and
action.
