About the Book

The most comprehensive introduction to environmental ethics available, ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS offers students a current look at the issues and topics that dominate the field today, organized into two main parts that take students seamlessly from theory to application. This Fifth Edition of the Pojmans' popular anthology, like its predecessors, includes numerous topic areas not covered in other anthologies-including an all-new section on Climate Change. Featuring articles carefully selected for clarity and accessibility, the text follows a dialogic pro-con format presenting divergent positions on each topic, ensuring that students are both exposed to and understand both sides of every topic so they can develop their own informed positions. The bulk of royalties for this book are donated to groups dedicated to protecting the environment, such as the Wilderness Society and the Sierra Club.

Key Feature

  • The text's introduction includes a primer on the nature of ethics and leading ethical theories that gives students a solid foundation on which to build their course knowledge.
  • Chapter introductions establish a framework for the readings and focus the students' engagements with them, while brief introductions to each reading provide students background material on the social context of the readings and biographical information on the authors, as well as information on the key issues to consider within the reading.
  • Study questions at the end of each reading help promote discussion and reflection, while suggestions for further reading encourage students to pursue additional enquiry on topics of interest.

New to this Edition
  • Seeking to provide greater diversity to the perspectives in this volume, new essays include: Karen Warren: The Power and Promise of Ecological Feminism; Martin Schonfeld: The Green KantNatural Dynamics and Sustainable Policies; Holly Wilson: Kant's Treatment of Animals; Gary Gardner, Erik Assadourian, and Radhika Sarin: The State of Consumption Today; Mae Ho: Unholy Alliance; Michael Fox: Vegetarianism and Planetary Health; Anne McGinn: Combating Malaria; Robert Bullard, Overcoming Racism in Environmental Decision Making; and Michael Martin: Eco-sabotage and Civil Disobedience.
  • Out-of-date articles (on population and climate change) have been replaced, and coverage of growing areas of the field (such as food ethics and environmental justice) have been expanded, giving students a truly representative look at the state of environmental ethics today.
  • Chapter 11 (now named "Climate Change") features all-new articles on what is arguably the fastest changing field in environmental policy today, giving students the most current information on this rapidly-evolving topic. New essays include: Pew Center on Climate Change: Fact Sheets, Camille Parmesan and Hector Galbraith: Observed Impacts of Global Climate Change in the U.S., and Stephan Gardiner: Ethics and Global Climate Change.
  • Chapter 7 is now called "Population and Consumption," reflecting the current understanding that neither population nor consumption can be examined apart from each other.
  • Chapter 8 (now named "Food Ethics") features new articles on Genetically Modified Foods and the environmental impact of meat eating, offering students insight into two of today's most controversial topics.
  • Introductions to each section, chapter, and reading have been updated for clarity and currency.
