| Abstract
|
:
|
Holmes Rolston III is widely known as the father of environmental ethics. From his authorship of one of the first articles in professional environmental philosophy ("Is there an ecological ethic?" 1975) to his most recent article on the place of humanity in the cosmos ("Generating life on Earth: five looming questions" 2007) no author has taken a more prominent role in shaping out the terrain in environmental philosophy. His writings in natural philosophy and theology articulate an interlocking position that contains detailed reflections on aesthetics, value theory, natural resource policy, wilderness advocacy, and sustainable development. This book is a collection of contemporary writings on the work of Holmes Rolston III. The contributing authors of this volume provide an in-depth evaluation of many of the topics discussed by Rolston, and probe the strengths and weaknesses of his work and suggest valuable correctives. Rolston himself, in a detailed reply to each of his critics, reveals where some of these criticisms sting him the most and in the process provides one of the most detailed and articulate defenses of his position ever offered.
