Critical issues such as the moral status of nature, African conceptions of animal moral status and rights, African conceptions of environmental justice, African relational Environmentalism, ubuntu, African theocentric and teleological environmentalism are addressed in this book. It is unique in so far as it goes beyond the generalized focus on African metaphysics and African ethics by exploring how these views might be understood differently in order to conceptualize African environmental ethics. Against the background where environmental problems such as pollution, climate change, extinction of flora and fauna, and global warming are plain to see, it becomes useful to examine how African conceptions of environmental ethics could be understood in order to confront some of these problems facing the whole world. This bookwill be of value to undergraduate students, graduate students and academics working in the area of African Philosophy, African Environmental Ethics and Global Ethics in general. . 410 0$aThe International Library of Environmental, Agricultural and Food Ethics,$x2215-1737 ;$v29 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aApplied ethics 606 $aEnvironmental law, International 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aHumanities 606 $aAgricultural Ethics 606 $aInternational Environmental Law 606 $aHumanities and Social Sciences 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aApplied ethics. 615 0$aEnvironmental law, International. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 14$aAgricultural Ethics. 615 24$aInternational Environmental Law. 615 24$aHumanities and Social Sciences. 676 $a363.70096 676 $a179.1 702 $aChemhuru$b Munamato 801 1$brda 801 2$b6680 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337691603321 996 $aAfrican Environmental Ethics$92021797 997 $aUNINA
