Nature is perhaps the most ancient philosophical category, yet few others are of greater current relevance. Still, a quarter century back, not even the most astute observer would have predicted a wild turn in philosophy. There has been no more surprising philosophical development than the recent, serious reconsideration of the human relationship to the ecosystemic Earth. The questions come in many forms: Have we any duties to natural things at all, or merely duties to persons concerning natural things? What sort of human dominion over nature is proper? In what senses can or should humans follow nature? Have we duties to animals, perhaps at least to sentient animals? Have we duties to endangered species, or, again, only duties to persons concerning rare species?

Historical Environmental Ethics,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Philosophy Gone Wild: Environmental Ethics (Paperback)
For those of you who are interested in the history/evolution of environmental philosophy/ethics, this is a must-read. However, I would not recommend this book to those who are interested in a nuanced approach to environmental philosophy/ethics since this book offers an antiquated perspective on how we "ought" to treat "nature".
