Reviews
"A welcome scholarly contribution . . . Not only philosophers but also natural and social scientists working on interdisciplinary environmental problems will benefit from reading the book."-- Environmental Professional, "In this genre Attfield's study must be a front runner for an environmental Oscar. He successfully combines and interweaves philosophical argument with historical evaluation in an interesting and thought-provoking way, which loses nothing in depth of thought by being accessible to the ordinary non-specialist reader."-- Third Way, "A welcome scholarly contribution . . . Not only philosophers but also natural and social scientists working on interdisciplinary environmental problems will benefit from reading the book."--Environmental Professional, "In this genre Attfield's study must be a front runner for an environmental Oscar.

Synopsis
First published in 1983, The Ethics of Environmental Concern is a classic in the field of environmental ethics. It examines traditional attitudes toward nature, and the degree to which these attitudes enable us to cope with modern ecological problems. This edition includes an updated list of references incorporating more recent scholarship., First published in 1983, The Ethics of Environmental Concern has become a classic in the relatively new field of environmental ethics. Examining traditional attitudes toward nature, and the degree to which these attitudes enable us to cope with modern ecological problems, Robin Attfield looks particularly at the Judeo-Christian heritage of belief in humankind's dominion, the tradition of stewardship, and the more recent belief in progress to determine the extent to which these attitudes underlie ecological problems and how far they embody resources adequate for combating such problems. He then examines concerns of applied ethics and considers our obligations to future generations, the value of life, and the moral standing and significance of nonhumans. Simultaneously, he offers and defends a theory of moral principles appropriate for dealing with such concerns as pollution, scarce natural resources, population growth, and the conservation and preservation of the environment. The second edition includes a new preface and introduction, as well as a bibliographic essay and an updated list of references incorporating relevant scholarship since the publication of the first edition.

    This was an odd eBay experience for me. It was the first time in several years that I wasn’t receiving the order or getting shipping updates. After contacting eBay and hearing from the seller I received updates and the order. The seller did make an effort to pack the glasses safely for shipping, however one was still broken and I feel that was probably due to rough handling despite being marked fragile.
