Abstract

Environmental philosophy is a hybrid discipline drawing extensively from epistemology, ethics, and philosophy of science and analyzing disciplines such as conservation biology, restoration ecology, sustainability studies, and political ecology. The book being discussed both provides an overview of environmental philosophy and develops an anthropocentric framework for it. That framework treats natural values as deep cultural values. Tradeoffs between natural values are analyzed using decision theory to the extent possible, leaving many interesting question for philosophical deliberation. This framework is supposed to be applicable in practical contexts.

摘要

环境哲学是一门混合学科，广泛借鉴认识论、伦理学和科学哲学，并对保护生物学、恢复生态学、可持续性研究和政治生态学等学科进行分析。正在讨论的这本书既概述了环境哲学，又为其发展了一个人类中心主义框架。该框架将自然价值视为深层文化价值。尽可能运用决策理论分析自然价值之间的权衡取舍，这留下了许多有趣的问题供哲学思考。该框架理应适用于实际情境。
