by Don Marietta, Lester Embree, J Baird Callicott (Contribution by), Timothy Casey (Contribution by), Lester Embrece (Contribution by)

Overview

This collection of new essays by eleven distinguished environmental philosophers addresses two main questions: first, whether environmental philosophy and ethics should be seen as a form of applied philosophy or as something else, perhaps best called practical philosophy; and second, how environmental philosophy is practiced in human life, especially in the lives of academics.
