书名: Nature, God and Humanity: Envisioning an Ethics of Nature
作者: Richard L. Fern (Author)
出版社: Cambridge University Press (April 15, 2002)
语言：English
ISBN-10: 0521009707
ISBN-13: 978-0521009706
Book Description
This study interweaves philosophical, scientific, religious and cultural factors to reveal why non-human animals and nature are objects of moral concern and how our well-being depends on harmony with nature as it was created. This argument is unique in its comprehensiveness, its overt reliance on traditional forms of religious faith, and its account of how those with conflicting ethics can work together to end the current, foolish abuse of nature.
Review
"...well-intentioned, wide-ranging..." --Roger S. Gottlieb, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Journal of American Academy of Religion
"I believe this to be a great and important book. It presents the most comprehensive and convincing argument I have seen from inside the academic discipline of ethics for redirecting environmental ethic--as well as academic ethics more generally--back to the scriptural sources of western values. It is a stunning and vital argument." --Peter Ochs, University of Virginia
"The mostly straightforward material in the first part will be useful for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students interested in environmental ethics.... [The] last two sections will be especially useful to theologians and religious studies students who aant to think about environmental ethics within the framework of Reformed theology." --Choice
