Synopsis

Gary E. Varner presents a carefully argued response to what he characterizes as "two dogmas of environmentalism" - the assumptions that animal rights philosophies and anthropocentric views are each antithetical to sound environmental policy. He defends a "biocentric individualist" stance that gives priority to the lives of animals with conscious desires and to certain human interests and shows that such a view is able to support the goals on the environmentalist agenda.

Revue de presse

This is a brave and ambitious book. It is densely argued and beautifully written. Varner's attempt to reconcile animal rights and environmentalist agendas is timely and welcome (The Philosophical Review, Vol.109, No.4, 2000)

useful contribution to the burgeoning, and increasingly respectable, field of environmental ethics. (Alan Carter, Mind Vol.109, No.435 July 2000.)

this is a gritty and challenging text: it marks out a distinctive philosophical position that merits serious attention by environmentalists and animal rights supporters alike. (A Holland, Dept. of Philosophy, Lancaster University.)
