Table of Contents

Volume 1: Environmental Philosophy: Values and Ethics The first volume explores the major concern of environmental philosophy: the intrinsic value of nature, and the proper foundations for non-anthropocentric environmental ethics. Volume 2: Environmental Philosophy: Society and Politics This volume includes papers which examine politically charged strains of environmental philosophy such as eco-feminism, social ecology, and deep ecology. Volume 3: Environmental Philosophy: Economics and Policy A perennial theme in environmental philosophy is a critique of economism and, often from environmental pragmatists, a call for more environmental policy orientation in environmental philosophy. This volume collects the essential papers on these themes. Volume 4: Environmental Philosophy: History and Culture Volume four explores environmental philosophy's engagement with the legacy of deep cognitive structures, such as human/nature and mind/body dualisms in the Western worldview, and alternatives to these cognitive structures found in various non-Western worldviews.
