Product Description
This text important and previously unexplored responses to the environmental crisis. 'The premise of this volume,' writes editor Roger Gottlieb, 'is that the environmental crisis challenges the presuppositions of, and creates a rich field of creative work in, philosophy, politics, and moral theory'. These eighteen essays are fresh and compelling interrogations of the existing wisdom in a host of areas, including liberalism, communicative ethics, rights theory and environmental philosophy itself.
