In \u003ci\u003eRespect for Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Taylor draws on biology, moral philosophy, and environmental science to defend a biocentric environmental ethic in which all life has value. Without making claims for the moral rights of plants and animals, he offers a reasoned alternative to the prevailing anthropocentric view--that the natural environment and its wildlife are valued only as objects for human use or enjoyment. \u003ci\u003eRespect for Nature\u003c\/i\u003e provides both a full account of the biological conditions for life--human or otherwise--and a comprehensive view of the complex relationship between human beings and the whole of nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This classic book remains a valuable resource for philosophers, biologists, and environmentalists alike--along with all those who care about the future of life on Earth. A new foreword by Dale Jamieson looks at how the original 1986 edition of \u003ci\u003eRespect for Nature\u003c\/i\u003e has shaped the study of environmental ethics, and shows why the work remains relevant to debates today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-9765112\"\u003ePaul W.
