What role can philosophers play in helping to resolve the moral and politicaldilemmas faced by environmental activists and policymakers? Moving away from environmentalphilosophy's usual focus on abstractions such as nonanthropocentrism and the intrinsic value ofnature, this book focuses on environmental practice as the starting point for theoreticalreflection. Philosophical thinking, it argues, need not be divided into the academic and thepractical. Philosophy can take a more publicly engaged approach.The authors combine a deepunderstanding of the environmental ethics literature with a sympathetic sociological and politicalexamination of environmental activists and their reasoning. The book is divided into three parts:Political Theory and Environmental Practice, Philosophical Tools for Environmental Practice, andRethinking Philosophy through Environmental Practice. Case studies are included from Canada,Denmark, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Topics range from the specific, such asfox hunting and leaded gasoline, to the more general, such as biodiversity in India, biomedicalethics, and crop biotechnology.
