Philosophy and the natural environment

Abstract

This proceedings volume of the 1993 Royal Institute of Philosophy Conference aims to further the debate among philosophers and environmentalists about the concepts of nature, value, bioethics and environmental and global justice, and their contemporary application. It helps rectify the comparative neglect by philosophers of the concepts of nature and of the environment, and also contributes to ethics, metaphysics, and social and political philosophy. Contributors include Dale Jamieson, Frederick Ferre, Peter List, Homes Rolston (USA), Robert Elliot (Australia), Stephen Clark, Roger Crisp, Nigel Dower, Tim Hayward, Alan Holland, Keekok Lee, Mary Midgley, Ruth McNally and Peter Wheale, plus the editors (UK).
