Series: - Value Inquiry Book Series, Volume: 205

Volume Editor:
This book shows that environmental protection is a global concern that must enlist all of humanityâs cultural, religious, and moral resources. The nine essays in this volume explore the foundations of environmental ethics in the Western philosophical tradition as well as from the perspectives of Christianity, Islam, Daoism, and Buddhism and propose morally responsible attitudes towards nature and the environment.
ââ¦this collection makes an important contribution to the growing sub-field of philosophy known as environmental ethics. ⦠the collectionâs appeal lies in the wide array of cross-cultural viewpoints expressed by its several contributorsâviewpoints that, for better or worse, have received little or no attention in the current literature. As a result, the essays expose the reader to perspectives that many journal editors and publishing houses have neglected in their haste to locate a broader audience for this growing sub-field. By transcending the orthodox view of environmental ethics, the collection fills an important nicheâ in: Philosophy in Review XXX (2010), No. 5
