Ethics and the Environment: An Introduction: Cambridge Applied Ethics

Autor Dale Jamieson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 noi 2023
This new edition of a widely used and cited introduction to ethics and the environment offers a broad and lively discussion of nature's future, focusing on climate change, conservation, and justice for both our contemporaries and future generations. It discusses the nature of environmental problems and their relationship to economics, religion, technology, and aesthetics. It includes incisive discussions of our moral relations with other animals, and of how animals are used in our food systems. It also provides a deep discussion of the value of nature, which takes up ecofeminist and deep ecology views as well as sentientism and biocentrism.  It discusses the plurality of values, and applies this analysis to some conflicts from the author's home state of California. The volume is comprehensively revised and updated, with several new chapters, and concludes with a compelling discussion of the question “How should I live?” in this new epoch of the Anthropocene.

Recenzii

'The material covered in the chapters on ethics is essential to a proper understanding of ethics and the environment and the chapter on animals is a clear and concise account of that very relevant topic. Add those elements to the illuminating discussion of the value of nature and the result is a book that can be recommended with confidence to anyone interested in learning about ethics, the environment and the interaction between them.' The Times Literary Supplement
'Here, at long last, is an excellent single-author text that can be used in undergraduate environmental ethics courses in tandem with one of the many good anthologies of landmark essays. Jamieson offers a welcome new volume for those in search of accessible, sophisticated and sustained discussions of the ethical perspectives that inform the discipline.' Choice
