Dr. Byron Williston is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Wilfrid Laurier University. He received his PhD in Philosophy at The University of Toronto, and has taught at the University of Toronto, The University of South Florida, and Wilfrid Laurier University. He is the author of Environmental Ethics for Canadians, 2nd edition (forthcoming, Oxford University Press) as well as numerous articles on the History of Philosophy, Ethical Theory, Environmental Ethics, Epistemology, and the problem of motivated irrationality.

By relating his discussion to mainstream ethics, action theory and moral philosophy, Williston provides an excellent bridge for philosophers, from the familiar literature of their discipline to the facts about climate change. For environmentalists and others with little experience in philosophy, the book bears powerful witness to the relevance of our discipline. I recommend this book strongly to all those who want to see how some traditional philosophical notions can be extended in our struggle to cope with climate change.

• 1. Introduction: Climate Change and the Virtues ; 2. The Anthropocene Project ; 3. The Spectre of Fragmentation ; 4. Justice ; 5. Truthfulness ; 6. Hope ; 7. Conclusion: Will They Forgive Us?
