Human concern over the urgency of current environmental issues
increasingly entails wide-ranging discussions of how we may rethink
the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world.
In order to provide a context for such discussions this anthology
provides a selection of some of the most important, interesting and
influential readings on the subject from classical times through to
the late nineteenth century. Included are such figures as Xenophon,
Plato, Aristotle, Hildegard of Bingen, St Francis of Assisi, Bacon,
Descartes, Kant, Mill, Emerson and Thoreau. As the collection as a
whole amply demonstrates, the history of western philosophical
accounts of nature can help us to better understand current
attitudes and problems. Human Life and the Natural World may also
be of interest to a broad range of philosophers and students of
philosophy, and more generally to those with a concern for the
environment that engages the intellect as well as the heart.
