The concept of naturalness has largely disappeared from the
academic discourse in general but also the particular field of
environmental studies. This book is about naturalness in general -
about why the idea of naturalness has been abandoned in modern
academic discourse, why it is important to explicitly re-establish
some meaning for the concept and what that meaning ought to be.
Arguing that naturalness can and should be understood in light of a
dispositional ontology, the book offers a point of view where the
gap between instrumental and ethical perspectives can be bridged.
Reaching a new foundation for the concept of 'naturalness' and its
viability will help raise and inform further discussions within
environmental philosophy and issues occurring in the crossroads
between science, technology and society. This topical book will be
of great interest to researchers and students in Environmental
Studies, Environmental Philosophy, Science and Technology Studies,
Conservation Studies as well as all those generally engaged in
debates about the place of 'man in nature'.
