Zen Buddhism and Environmental Ethics explores the implications of
Zen Buddhist teachings and practices for our moral relations with
the natural world. At once an accessible introduction to Zen and an
important contribution to the debate concerning the environmental
implications of the tradition, this book will appeal both to
readers unfamiliar with East Asian thought and to those well versed
in the field. In elucidating the philosophical implications of Zen,
the author draws upon both Eastern and Western philosophy,
situating the Zen understanding of nature within the Buddhist
tradition, as well as relating it to the ideas of key Western
philosophers such as Aristotle, Kant and Heidegger. These
philosophical reflections on Zen are used to shed light on some
prominent debates in contemporary environmental ethics concerning
such issues as the intrinsic value of nature.
