Ecofeminist Philosophy
Warren has provided a useful book for feminist and environmental philosophy instruction. She makes a number of interesting arguments in very accessible ways in chapters on vegeterianism, social justice, spirituality, and ecofeminism as a particularly Western philosophical movement. This informative overview and set of arguments about ecofeminism as a productive philosophical and social movement is a very useful resource for academic libraries. (Choice Magazine)Warren is a key thinker in this field, and the philosophical enquiry here is exemplary in its detail: terms are rigorously defined, arguments move by careful and clearly indicated steps, and the material is presented with painstaking care for thorough explanation. (Feminist Theory)This is a welcome project, as a philosophically inclined yet accessible introductory book on ecofeminism is long overdue, and especially welcome from an established ecofeminist. (Environmental Values)This book is highly recommended especially for those who believe that ecofeminism has a lot to offer in guiding attempts to reach a greener society. (Environmental Politics)A well-organized explication of the ideology that perpetuates the domination of women and nature. It would make an excellent introductory textbook for a class on environmental philosophy, feminist studies, or ecofeminism. It is clear and concise. Because of its accessible style, the book will serve particularly well as an introduction to ecofeminism. Finally, because of the discussions regarding moral pluralism and the reconciliation of holism with individualism, the book also captures a somewhat higher level of intellectual interest.Ecofeminist Philosphyembodies a rare blend of accessibility and wide-ranging synthesis of debates in the field. Even more rare is her analysis opening onto avenues for further inquiry, which renders the book highly recommendable for almost anyone to read, whether student, philosopher, feminist, environmentalist, or simply the curious.
