Description
This text outlines and examines the main aspects of current environmental philosophy including deep ecology, social and political ecology, eco-feminism and eco-anarchism. It criticizes the dependency on science of these philosophies and the social problems engendered by them. The author argues for a post-naturalistic turn in environmental philosophy and presents up-to-date arguments in environmental philosophy in the late 20th century, which should be valuable reading for students of applied philosophy, environmental studies and geography.
Reviews"Keulartz develops several provocative lines of criticism of various "radical" environmental philosophies.."-"Ethics, July 2001
