Canadian Environmental Philosophy is the first collection of essays
to take up theoretical and practical issues in environmental
philosophy today, from a Canadian perspective. The essays cover
various subjects, including ecological nationalism, the legacy of
Grey Owl, the meaning of "outside" to Canadians, the paradigm shift
from mechanism to ecology in our understanding of nature, the
meaning and significance of the Anthropocene, the challenges of
biodiversity protection in Canada, the conservation status of
crossbred species in the age of climate change, and the moral
status of ecosystems. This wide range of topics is as diverse and
challenging as the Canadian landscape itself. Given the extent of
humanity's current impact on the biosphere - especially evident
with anthropogenic climate change and the ongoing mass extinction -
it has never been more urgent for us to confront these
environmental challenges as Canadian citizens and citizens of the
world. Canadian Environmental Philosophy galvanizes this
conversation from the perspective of this place.
