MOST environment-related public policy fails to evaluate ethical implications.
This book develops, defends, and criticizes a set of principles known as
"environmental ethics." It is directed to philosophers, assessors of environmental
policy, and members of the general public who are actively concerned with the future
of our species and our planet. Readings from significant literature are tied
together by the author's original statements. Topics include maintenance of
environmental quality, value judgements, religious viewpoints--particularly
Judeo-Christian, rights of future generations, legal standing of natural
objects, pollution, nuclear power. Used as a college textbook in philosophy and
biology courses.
