A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume offers a selection of some of the best and most interesting articles that have been written on ethics and the environment in the past two decades. It constitutes an ideal introduction to the main debates in the area, dealing with issues such as duties to future people, resource conservatism, species and wilderness preservation, the relevance of ecology to ethics, ecofeminism, and the tension between political liberalism and environmentalism. This book will be of interest not just to professional philosophers and students of philosophy, but to anyone who wishes to learn about the beliefs and principles which underlie environmentalism.

Revue de presse

Robert Elliot has assembled a notable set of readings, all previously published elsewhere in books or journals between 1975 and 1991, adding a useful introduction. (Times Literary Supplement.)

This collection forms an excellent environmental ethics primer for the student of moral philosophy and of Christian ethics, and contains pieces by many of the most prominent scholars in the field of environmental ethics. (Studies in Christian Ethics)

Environmental Ethics contains some first-rate articles, and I recommend it. (Ethics, July 1996)
