"Minteer's new book lives up to its title: Refounding Environmental Ethics. [Minteer] builds his search for environmental values on a firm foundation in social science, which is essential to his pragmatist approach. He builds on Dewey's conception of democracy to deepen and broaden the intellectual base for environmental pragmatism, supporting a pluralistic way to determine and pursue environmental values, and he intertwines his argument with case studies and real situations. [This] book will be especially useful for environmental ethics classes designed for environmental studies or environmental policy students." -Bryan G. Norton,Distinguished Professor, School of Public Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology
