Naturethik.

Rate this book
Is nature´s value only instrumental value for human beings or does nature also have intrinsic value? Can traditional anthropocentrism be defended or must we move to a new, physiocentric moral position? This study develops a critical taxonomy or "map" of thirteen arguments for the conservation of nature. It defends the moral intrinsic value of sentient animals, but not of nonsentient nature. The arguments are phrased in a simple, plastic, and concise language.

Sehr gute, wenn vielleicht auch etwas "betagte" Übersicht. Klar strukturiert sind hier einschlägige und recht diverese Aufsätze erst zur Tier-Ethik und dann zur weiteren Natur-Ethik gesammelt. Besonders schön wird die Sammlung abgerudnet durch den kontextualisierenden Essay von Angelika Krebs, der nochmal einen Rückblick auf die verschiedenen Positionen wirft.
