Description: This book is a major new introduction to the field of ecological ethics. Taking issue with the common assumption that existing human ethics can be 'extended' to meet the demands of the ongoing ecological crisis, the author shows that a new and truly ecological ethic is both possible and urgently needed. With this distinctive proposition in mind, he introduces and discusses all the major concepts needed to understand the full range of ecological ethics.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [152]-168) and index.
