This collection of new essays by eleven distinguished environmental philosophers addresses two main questions: first, whether environmental philosophy and ethics should be seen as a form of applied philosophy or as something else, perhaps best called practical philosophy; and second, how environmental philosophy is practiced in human life, especially in the lives of academics.
An excellent set of essays. . . .The editors of this volume have performed an important service for environmental philosophers in particular and for environmental activists in general. -- Michael E. Zimmerman, professor of philosophy, University of Colorado at Boulder
important and readable. . . . Will be required reading for those concerned with the power of ideas to change our world. -- Susan J. Armstrong, Humboldt State University
Contains essays by some of the best known scholars in environmental ethics, such as Callicott and Norton. The Varner and Watson essays raise points that every environmentalist should consider. -- Dr. Kristin Shrader-Frechette, O'Neill Family Professor, Department of Biological Sciences & Department of Philosophy, University of Notre Dame
