The first anthology to highlight the problems of environmental justice and sustainable development, Reflecting on Nature provides a multicultural perspective on questions of environmental concern, featuring contributions from feminist and minority scholars and scholars from developing countries. Selections examine immediate global needs, addressing some of the most crucial problems we now face: biodiversity loss, the meaning and significance of wilderness, population and overconsumption, and the human use of other animals. Spanning centuries of philosophical, naturalist, and environmental reflection, readings include the work of Aristotle, Locke, Darwin, and Thoreau, as well as that of contemporary, mainstream figures like Bernard Williams, Thomas Hill, Jr., and Jonathan Glover. Works by Val Plumwood, Bill Devall, Murray Bookchin, and John Dryzek comprise a radical ecology section. Featuring insightful section introductions by the editors, this comprehensive and timely collection of philosophical and environmental writing will inform, enlighten, and encourage debate.

Great selections for an intro to Environmental Ethics

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed much of the reading in this book. It was the required text for an upper division Philosophy class, Environmental Ethics, that I took in summer of 2013. Peter Singer's pieces do, at times, get to be a little wordy. However, it *is* a philosophy text so that's to be expected.

My favorite elements of this book were the pieces that provided an alternative position to the populist, traditional ideas of "green living." I feel like my understanding of agriculture and agri-commerce are far more complete now that I know about the pros and cons of various organic and traditional philosophies alike.

The book provided a diverse set of principle (biocentrism, anthropocentrism, etc) and discussed values and morality quite well.

If I were their editor and could change anything,I'd have gone through and stylized, in bold, the important terms and key principles within each of the articles. Though the brief summaries at the beginning of each section were incredibly valuable, it would help break up the more verbose passages and really dial into the crux of the material to highlight these concepts & terms.

Helped an oblivious engineer understand animal rights

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

I loved how much ethos this book uses. So many discussions of animal rights are simply tradition versus emotion, while this book calmly ponders what it means to be, what it means to suffer, and the moral and biological implications of our place in the food chain. As the only animal that can think of and create new worlds, it encourages us to think of what world we want to make.

Christian Bashing - ridiculous blaming rather than solutions

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

1st few chapters have the nerve to blame religion for global warming... Really? Let's all take a look in the mirror and own our responsibility, then stop the blame game and come up with a better solution than "get a new religion" other than Christianity
