Book Synopsis

The first on the topic of environmental virtue ethics, this book seeks to provide the definitive anthology that will both establish the importance of environmental virtue in environmental discourse and advance the current research on environmental virtue in interesting and original ways. The selections in this collection, consisting of ten original and four reprinted essays by leading scholars in the field, discuss the role that virtue and character have traditionally played in environmental discourse, and reflect upon the role that it should play in the future.

Review Quotes

A timely and much-needed collection.

Provides a wide spectrum of views on EVE, and advances current research on this topic....The essays are scholarly, imaginative, clearly written, and will be of interest to all readers with an interest in environmental philosophy.

The content is. . . interesting and important. It should not be mistaken for a standard textbook addressing solutions to practical engineering problems.

The only book of its kind...an important addition to what one hopes will be a growing interest in EVE.
