Environmental Ethics: An Anthology brings together seminal writings on the central questions in environmental
ethics. The book comprises both classic and cutting-edge essays that have formed contemporary environmental ethics,
ranging from the welfare of animals versus ecosystems to theories of the intrinsic value of nature. The volume
also discusses alternatives to traditional environmental ethics, including deep ecology, ecofeminism, and environmental
pragmatism; and presents important works on particular environmental issues, such as wilderness preservation and
global climate change.
Additional editorial material provides a helpful overview of the field and points to new directions and controversies
shaping the relationship between humans and nature into the future. Specifically designed for course use, Environmental
Ethics: An Anthology provides an excellent introduction, at once accessible and thorough, to this increasingly
important and urgent area of study.
