Synopsis

This book provides a readable, yet philosophically careful survey of the developing field of environmental ethics. It is comprehensive, covering topics from the relevance of Aristotle's ethics for environmental issues to Deep Ecology and Ecofeminism. Des Jardins has no philosophical ''axe to grind,'' so the survey is accurate and fair to the full range of current philosophical positions. Strengths and weaknesses of all of the positions are examined so that students can participate in the analysis of these philosophical debates.
