This book is unique in its treatment of biodiversity, which has come to be an emblem of what is worthy of protection and fostering in the natural world. It undertakes a comprehensive, detailed, and careful philosophical analysis of the many reasons that scientists, economists, philosophers, and others offer for why biodiversity is supposed to be such a central good of nature. Its conclusion is both surprising and disturbing: No reason for biodiversity's good can be found that is not ill-conceived, logically in defensible, internali}՛ contradictory, or self-undermining. The profound failure to find the good of nature in its biodiversity is a springboard for rethinking what, exactly, makes the natural world so uniquely and robustly valuable. This leads to a novel suggestion ֊ that nature's value might be located in a particular human-nature relationship, which anchors the appropriate fit of people in the world at large. Understanding nature's value in this way has far-reaching consequences, which call into question common orthodoxies of conservation, restoration, and environmen talism generally. |
