A welcome scholarly contribution . . . Not only philosophers but also natural and social scientists working on interdisciplinary environmental problems will benefit from reading the book. --Environmental Professional In this genre Attfield's study must be a front runner for an environmental Oscar. He successfully combines and interweaves philosophical argument with historical evaluation in an interesting and thought-provoking way, which loses nothing in depth of thought by being accessible to the ordinary non-specialist reader. --Third Way
Examining traditional attitudes toward nature and the degree to which these attitudes enable people to cope with modern ecological problems, Robin Attfield looks particularly at the Judaeo-Christian heritage of belief in man's dominion, the tradition of stewardship, and the more recent belief in progress to determine the extent to which these attitudes underlie ecological problems and how far they embody resources adequate for combatting such problems. He then examines concerns of applied ethics and considers our obligations to future generations, the value of life and the moral standing and significance of non-humans. Simultaneously, he offers and defends a theory of moral principles appropriate for dealing with such concerns as pollution, scarce natural resources, population growth and the conservation and preservation of the enviroment. This second edition includes a new preface and introduction, as well as a bibliographic essay and an updated list of references incorporating relevant scholarship since the publication of the first edition.
