A Theory of Ecological Justice: Environmental Politics

Autor Brian Baxter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 sep 2004
In A Theory of Ecological Justice, Baxter argues for ecological justice - that is, for treating species besides homo sapiens as having a claim in justice to a share of the Earth's resources. It explores the nature of justice claims as applied to organisms of various degrees of complexity and describes the institutional arrangements necessary to integrate the claims of ecological justice into human decision-making.
