Description

Refounding Environmental Ethics: A New Approach to Philosophy and Practice Ben Minteer offers a bold rethinking of environmental ethics, combining environmental ethics, democratic theory, philosophical pragmatism, and the environmental social sciences. He presents a compelling intellectual foundation for the field, supporting a more activist, collaborative, and problem-solving approach. Minteer's pragmatic approach is demonstrated through real-world examples, including invasive species, ecological research, biodiversity loss, protected area management, and conservation under global climate change. This book provides a fresh perspective on environmental ethics, one that stands as an alternative to the field's historically dominant "nature-centred" outlook. By exploring the implications of John Dewey's pragmatist philosophy for environmental ethics, politics, and practice, Minteer helps ethicists and their allies resolve critical debates in environmental policy and conservation practice.
