Beskrivning
The environmental philosophy that has grown from the ecological movement has often been accused of providing no rational arguments for the holistic concepts it embraces. This is the first book to consider the metaphysical foundations of ecological ethics. The author seeks to provide a metaphysical support for the basic institutions of the 'one-ness' and the interconnectedness of everything, the fundamental principles of the ecological movement.

This is perhaps the most sophisticated account of the ecological self that we yet have in print. It is a welcome addition to the growing literature in environmental ethics, especially for Mathews' sustained argument that places the intuition of interconnectedness on a solid metaphysical grounding. -- Holmes Rolston III, Colorado State University CHOICE The complexity of Mathews's argument encompasses discussions of cosmology, physics, epistemology, ethics, and the history of philosophy and science. Despite such breadth, Mathews's thesis of 'ecocosm' is clearly formulated and serves as an adequate theoretical base for many popular environmental ethics.
