Examining traditional attitudes toward nature, and the degree to which these attitudes enable us to cope with modern ecological problems, Robin Attfield looks particularly at the Judeo-Christian heritage of belief in humankind's dominion, the tradition of stewardship, and the more recent belief in progress to determine the extent to which these attitudes underlie ecological problems and how far they embody resources adequate for combating such problems. He then examines concerns of applied ethics and considers our obligations to future generations, the value of life, and the moral standing and significance of nonhumans. Simultaneously, he offers and defends a theory of moral principles appropriate for dealing with such concerns as pollution, scarce natural resources, population growth, and the conservation and preservation of the environment. The second edition includes a new preface and introduction, as well as a bibliographic essay and an updated list of references incorporating relevant scholarship since the publication of the first edition.Product IdentifiersPublisherUniversity of Georgia PressISBN-100820313440ISBN-139780820313443eBay Product ID (ePID)903172Product Key FeaturesAuthorRobin AttfieldPublication NameEthics of Environmental ConcernFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishFeaturesReprintPublication Year1991TypeTextbookNumber of Pages280 PagesDimensionsItem Length9inItem Height0.6inItem Width6inItem Weight16.8 OzBKBX 21
