About this title

Review:

"Taylor's environmental ethic is a substantial and significant one which, among other things, requires that there be harmony between human civilisation and living nature."--Australasian Journal of Philosophy

"This is a useful book that raises important questions."--Ethics

From the Back Cover:

"When it first appeared, Respect for Nature was at once recognized for the important, groundbreaking work it was. It was deservedly a major influence in the then newly developing field of environmental ethics. Time has only confirmed this first opinion and it is good to have the book back before us."--Michael Ruse, editor of Philosophy after Darwin

"Paul Taylor notes that just as we would not ask 'What is a human being good for?, ' so also should we not ask 'What is nature good for?' This is surely right. His Respect for Nature is a systematic working out of the consequences of this observation. It is even more relevant today than when it first appeared twenty-five years ago."--Stephen Darwall, Yale University
