Reviews

The concept of 'sustainability' in environmental policy making certainly benefits from the kind of serious philosophical and political analysis it receives in this excellent collection. -Steven Kelman, Harvard University This is an extremely important, in-depth normative discussion among leaders in environmental theory on the values influencing environmental decision making. -Matthew Cahn, California State University, Northridge The best quality of this volume is the lively and engaging discussion among prominent environmental philosophers and political theorists. These contributors make evident how little serious attention is paid to moral principles by policy analysts and how these principles might foster more democratic practices. -John Meyer, author of Political Nature: Environmentalism and the Interpretation of Western Thought


"""This is an extremely important, in-depth normative discussion among leaders in environmental theory on the values influencing environmental decision making.""- Matthew Cahn, California State University, Northridge ""This volume makes evident how little attention is paid to moral principles by policy analysts. Because the contributors are also very prominent scholars, their contributions and insights are especially noteworthy and the discussion among them especially interesting."" - John Meyer, Humboldt State University"
