| 520 | |a A central concern of nearly every environmental ethic is the desire to extend the scope of direct moral concern beyond human beings to plants, non-human animals, and the systems of which they are a part. Although nearly all environmental philosophies have long since rejected modernity's conception of individuals as isolated and independent substances, few have replaced this worldview with an alternative that is adequate to the organic, processive world in which we find ourselves. In this context, [the author] argues that the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead has the potential to make a significant contribution to environmental ethics. Additionally inspired by classical American philosophers such as William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce and environmental philosophers such as Aldo Leopold, Peter Singer, Albert Schweitzer, and Arne Naess, [the author] develops an ethical theory that brings ... perspectives to both environmental ethics and process philosophy. By systematically developing a conception of individuality that embraces equally the microscopic world of subatomic events and the macroscopic world of ecosystems, [this book] emphasizes the well-being of wholes, while not losing sight of the importance of the unique centers of value that constitute these wholes.-Dust jacket. | ||
