Review

The eighteen essays in this diverse and almost uniformly excellent collection address questions of justice, imperialism, and sustainability, tensions between liberalism and environmentalism, the importance of time and history, and the role of science in environmental ethics.
–Ethics

Gottlieb... has assembled an impressive cast of philosophers and political scientists that reveals the diversity and depth of current philosophical approaches to the environment.
–Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith

Product Description

The Ecological Community offers 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.
