The Greening of Ethics

Richard Sylvan and David Bennett

The Greening of Ethics is an outstandingly clear introduction to the increasingly important subject of environmental ethics. Sylvan was for many years a key figure in the field, and this book sets out his own distinctive 'Deep Green' theory in its most fully developed form.

'Here is environmental ethics from 'down under' showing us how topsy turvy the uppermost Western, first world view really is. Australia has already proved itself a bellwether territory, as with Lawrence Johnson's A Morally Deep World, Warwick Fox's Towards a Transpersonal Ecology, and freya Mathews' The Ecological Self. Now we have the most insightful work so far defining, in its own national development, Australia's unique contribution to The Greening of Ethics. Forceful, critical, subversive, even satirical, and, ultimately, quite constructive, Sylvan and Bennett show that if conservation fails in Australia, then all hope of convincing the rest of the world of its importance is dead.' - Holmes Rolston, III
