Understanding Environmental Philosophy presents a comprehensive, critical analysis of contemporary philosophical approaches to current ecological concerns. Key ideas are explained, placed in their broader cultural, religious, historical, political and philosophical context, and their environmental policy implications are outlined. Central ideas and concepts about environmental value, individual wellbeing, ecological holism and the metaphysics of nature set the stage for a discussion of how to establish moral rules and priorities, and whether it is possible to transcend human-centred views of the world. The reader is also helped with an annotated guide to further reading, questions for discussion and revision as well as boxed studies highlighting key concepts and theoretical material. A clear and accessible introduction to this most dynamic of subjects, Understanding Environmental Philosophy will be invaluable for a wide range of readers. 410 0$aUnderstanding movements in modern thought. 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xPhilosophy 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 676 $a363.7001 676 $a363.7001 700 $aBrennan$b Andrew$01723333 701 $aLo$b Y.
