Philosophical reflections on the environment began with early philosophers'invocation of a cosmology that mixed natural and supernatural phenomena. Today, the centralphilosophical problem posed by the environment involves not what it can teach us about ourselves andour place in the cosmic order but rather how we can understand its workings in order to make betterdecisions about our own conduct regarding it. The resulting inquiry spans different areas ofcontemporary philosophy, many of which are represented by the fifteen original essays in thisvolume.
The contributors first consider conceptual problems generated by rapidadvances in biology and ecology, examining such topics as ecological communities, adaptation, andscientific consensus. The contributors then turn to epistemic and axiological issues, firstconsidering philosophical aspects of environmental decision making and then assessing particularenvironmental policies (largely relating to climate change), including reparations, remediation, andnuclear power, from a normative perspective.
