A New Environmental Ethics: the Next Millennium for Life on
Earth offers clear, powerful, and oftentimes moving thoughts
from one of the first and most respected philosophers to write on
the environment. Rolston, an early and leading pioneer in
studying the moral relationship between humans and the earth,
surveys the full spectrum of approaches in the field of
environmental ethics. This book, however, is not simply a
judicious overview. Instead, it offers critical assessments of
contemporary academic accounts and draws on a lifetime of
research and experience to suggest an outlook for the future. As
a result, this focused, forward-looking analysis will be a
necessary complement to any balanced textbook or anthology in
environmental ethics, and will teach its readers to be
responsible global citizens, and residents of their landscape,
helping ensure that the future we have will be the one we wish
for.
