Zusammenfassung:The first anthology to highlight the problems of environmental justice and sustainable development, Reflecting on Nature provides a multicultural perspective on questions of environmental concern, featuring contributions from feminist and minority scholars and scholars from developing countries. Selections examine immediate global needs, addressing some of the most crucial problems we now face: biodiversity loss, the meaning and significance of wilderness, population and overconsumption, and the human use of other animals. Spanning centuries of philosophical, naturalist, and environmental reflection, readings include the work of Aristotle, Locke, Darwin, and Thoreau, as well as contemporary, mainstream figures like Bernard Williams, Thomas Hill, Jr. , and Jonathan Glover, while works by Val Plumwood, Bill Devall, Murray Bookchin, and John Dryzek comprise a radical ecology section
With insightful essays by the editors to introduce each section, this comprehensive and timely text of philosophical and environmental writing will inform, enlighten, and encourage debate
