Environmental Ethics

Environmental Ethics, 3rd Edition, is an anthology edited by Michael Boylan that examines philosophical debates concerning nature and humanity's relationship to the natural world. Published in 2022, the collection pairs foundational essays with eight contributions commissioned specifically for this edition.

The volume introduces theoretical foundations, competing moral frameworks, and applied environmental issues such as climate change and sustainability. Selections examine how ethical reasoning informs discussions of environmental responsibility, conservation, and policy.

Intended for undergraduate and graduate courses across ethics, the environment, law, and policy, the book also provides a reference for scholars. Case studies integrated into the text offer practical exercises in analyzing complex environmental disputes.
