Different Natures --Notes --Selected Bibliography --IndexBeing Human examines the complex connections among conceptions of human nature, attitudes toward non-human nature, and ethics. Anna Peterson proposes an "ethical anthropology" that examines how ideas of nature and humanity are bound together in ways that shape the very foundations of cultures. Peterson discusses mainstream Western understandings of what it means to be human, as well as alternatives to these perspectives, and suggests that the construction of a compelling, coherent environmental ethics will revise our ideas not only about nature but also about what it means to be human.Environmental ethicsEthicsElectronic books.Environmental ethics.Ethics.179/.1Peterson Anna Lisa1963-990685MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449664103321Being human2478632UNINA
