Today, the central philosophical problem posed by the environment involves not what it can teach us about ourselves and our place in the cosmic order but rather how we can understand its workings in order to make better decisions about our own conduct regarding it. The resulting inquiry spans different areas of contemporary philosophy, many of which are represented by the fifteen original essays in this volume. The contributors first consider conceptual problems generated by rapid advances in biology and ecology, examining such topics as ecological communities, adaptation, and scientific consensus. The contributors then turn to epistemic and axiological issues, first considering philosophical aspects of environmental decision making and then assessing particular environmental policies (largely relating to climate change), including reparations, remediation, and nuclear power, from a normative perspective. 410 0$aTopics in contemporary philosophy. 606 $aPhilosophy of nature$vCongresses 606 $aNature$vCongresses 606 $aEcology$xPhilosophy$vCongresses 610 $aPHILOSOPHY/General 610 $aENVIRONMENT/General 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature 615 0$aNature 615 0$aEcology$xPhilosophy 676 $a333.7 701 $aKabasenche$b William P.$f1972-$01481047 701 $aO'Rourke$b Michael$f1963-$0753798 701 $aSlater$b Matthew H.$f1977-$01481048 712 12$aInland Northwest Philosophy Conference 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779170203321 996 $aThe environment$93824354 997 $aUNINA
