The subject is examined from a determinedly analytic philosophical perspective, focusing on questions of value, but taking in attendant issues in epistemology and metaphysics as well. The book begins by considering the nature, extent and origin of the environmental problems with which we need to be concerned. Chapters go on to consider familiar strategies for dealing with environmental problems, and then consider what sort of things are of direct moral concern, examining in turn at animals, non-sentient life-forms, natural but non-living things and deep ecology. The final part of the book investigates notions of value, natural beauty and the place of human beings in the scheme of things.Philosophy of natureEnvironmental sciencesPhilosophyPhilosophy of nature.Environmental sciencesPhilosophy.333.701Belshaw Christopher.864734UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910785462903321Environmental philosophy3684044UNINA
