Description
Environmental Ethics, Ecological Theology, and Natural Selection by Lisa H. Sideris explores the development of an ecological ethic that balances scientific accuracy with a nuanced understanding of the natural world. This study examines the work of influential thinkers who have shaped environmental thought, revealing common flaws in their approaches. Sideris proposes a more realistic ethic that combines evolutionary theory with theological insight, advocating a minimally interventionist stance toward nature and valuing the processes over the products of the natural world. By re-examining the assumptions underlying environmental ethics, Sideris offers a fresh perspective on how to address the world's escalating environmental crisis. This book is an important contribution to ongoing debates about the relationship between humans and the environment, and will be of interest to scholars and readers concerned with philosophy, ecology, and environmental issues.
