Environmental Ethics A Very Short Introduction
EnvironmentalEthics A Very Short Introduction
Robin Attfield, Cardiff University
“Attfield’s new book confirms him as one of the most eloquent voices in present-day environmental ethics. It combines philosophical depth with extreme readability and makes a suggestive case for an ethics that pays tribute to the value of non-human nature.”
- Dieter Birnbacher, University of Duesseldorf
“Attfield can write a very concise introduction to environmental ethics with all the precision already shown in his dozen full length works.” - Holmes Rolston III, Colorado State University
Environmental ethics is a relatively new branch of philosophy, which studies the values and principles involved in combatting environmental problems such as pollution, loss of species and habitats, and climate change.
In this Very Short Introduction Robin Attfield traces the origins of environmental ethics as a discipline,and considers how it defends the independent value of living creatures, and the need to make decisions informed by the needs and interests of future generations.
