Description
Ecological Ethics: An Introduction by Patrick Curry offers a comprehensive and radical exploration of ecological ethics. This revised second edition introduces and discusses key concepts needed to understand the full range of ecological ethics, from light green anthropocentric ethics to dark or deep green ecocentric ethics.
The book examines various approaches, including the Land Ethic, the Gaia Hypothesis, and Deep Ecology, as well as ecofeminism and virtue ethics. It also explores green ethics in a post-secular context, moral pluralism, pragmatism, and human population in light of ecological ethics.
Updated to include discussions on climate change, sustainable economies, education, and food from an ecocentric perspective, this textbook provides a critical introduction to the subject that puts ecocentrism and the critique of anthropocentrism back at the forefront of ethical, intellectual, and political agendas. It will be of great interest to students and activists.
