The Incompleat Eco-Philosopher: Essays from the Edges of Environmental Ethics (SUNY series in Environmental Philosophy and Ethics)

"This collection of germinal work in the field by Anthony Weston presents his pragmatic environmental philosophy, calling for reconstruction and imagination rather than deconstruction and analysis. It is a philosopher's invitation to environmental ethics in an unexpectedly inviting and down-to-earth key. On the pragmatic view advanced here, environmental values are thoroughly natural - what else could they be? - and are open-ended and in flux. Rather than passing judgment on the world as it is, we are called to rediscover and remake the world as it might be. We require an environmental etiquette more than a formal ethic; an etiquette whose development must be an ongoing process; and a process in turn that is genuinely multicentric, challenging us to negotiate our place among the exuberant variety of living and other forms."--BOOK JACKET Before Environmental Ethics -- Self-validating Reduction : Toward A Theory Of Environmental Devaluation -- Environmental Ethics As Environmental Etiquette : Towards An Ethics-based Epistemology In Environmental Philosophy / With Jim Cheney -- Multicentrism : A Manifesto -- De-anthropocentrizing The World : Environmental Ethics As A Design Challenge -- What If Teaching Went Wild? -- Galapagos Stories : Evolution, Creation, And The Odyssey Of Species -- Eco-philosophy In Space.
