Consequentialism and Environmental Ethics

By: Hiller, Avram

Book Overview

This volume works to connect issues in environmental ethics with the best work in contemporary normative theory. In particular, the contributors use consequentialist theory to address central questions in environmental ethics, such as questions about what kinds of things have value; about decision-making in light of the long-term, intergenerational nature of environmental issues; and about the role that a state's being natural should play in ethical deliberation.
