Description

Environmental Philosophy: An Introduction by Simon P. James This thought-provoking book explores our relationship with the natural world, examining fundamental questions about the environment and our place within it. Drawing on a wide range of philosophical sources, including virtue ethics and Buddhism, Simon P. James sets out to answer questions about the natural world, animal minds, moral relations with non-human organisms, ecosystems, and the earth as a whole. The book considers environmental aesthetics, humanity's place in the natural world, and what it means to be wild, before applying its findings to the topic of global climate change. This accessible and engaging book provides a strong moral case for urgent action on climate change, making it an ideal guide for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of environmental issues. Suitable for students of the environment across the humanities and social sciences, this book offers a fresh perspective on our relationship with the natural world.
