Review

This is perhaps the most sophisticated account of the ecological self that we yet have in print. It is a welcome addition to the growing literature in environmental ethics, especially for Mathews' sustained argument that places the intuition of interconnectedness on a solid metaphysical grounding.>>> (III, Holmes Rolston Choice)

The complexity of Mathews's argument encompasses discussions of cosmology, physics, epistemology, ethics, and the history of philosophy and science. Despite such breadth, Mathews's thesis of 'ecocosm' is clearly formulated and serves as an adequate theoretical base for many popular environmental ethics.>>> (Choice)
