The fall of the wild: extinction, de-extinction, and the ethics of conservation / Ben A. Minteer (2019)  

Public ISBD Titre : The fall of the wild: extinction, de-extinction, and the ethics of conservation Type de document : livre Auteurs : Ben A. Minteer, Auteur Editeur : New York : Columbia University Press Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 183 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-231-17778-8 Prix : 28.00 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Biodiversity  Nature conservation  Wildlife  Ethics  Environmental Protection Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : The passenger pigeon, the great auk, the Tasmanian tiger—the memory of these vanished species haunts the fight against extinction. Seeking to save other creatures from their fate in an age of accelerating biodiversity loss, wildlife advocates have become captivated by a narrative of heroic conservation efforts. A range of technological and policy strategies, from the traditional, such as regulations and refuges, to the novel—the scientific wizardry of genetic engineering and synthetic biology—seemingly promise solutions to the extinction crisis. In The Fall of the Wild, Ben A. Minteer calls for reflection on the ethical dilemmas of species loss and recovery in an increasingly human-driven world. He asks an unsettling but necessary question: Might our well-meaning efforts to save and restore wildlife pose a threat to the ideal of preserving a world that isn’t completely under the human thumb? Minteer probes the tension between our impulse to do whatever it takes and the risk of pursuing strategies that undermine our broader commitment to the preservation of wildness. From collecting wildlife specimens for museums and the wilderness aspirations of zoos to visions of “assisted colonization” of new habitats and high-tech attempts to revive long-extinct species, he explores the scientific and ethical concerns vexing conservation today. The Fall of the Wild is a nuanced treatment of the deeper moral issues underpinning the quest to save species on the brink of extinction and an accessible intervention in debates over the principles and practice of nature conservation.

A sustainable philosophy: the work of Bryan Norton / Sahotra Sarkar (2018)

Minteer, Éditeur scientifique ; Norton, Bryan G., Dédicataire Editeur : Cham, Switzerland : Springer Année de publication : 2018 Collection : The international library of environmental, agricultural and food ethics, ISSN 1570-3010 num. 26 Importance : 303 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-030-06470-9 Prix : 105.49 EUR Note générale : Softcover re-print of the hardcover 1st ed. 2018 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Philosophy  Sustainable development  Environmental policy  Natural resources management  Ethics Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : "This book provides a richly interdisciplinary assessment of the thought and work of Bryan Norton, one of most innovative and influential environmental philosophers of the past thirty years. In landmark works such as Toward Unity Among Environmentalists and Sustainability: A Philosophy of Adaptive Ecosystem Management, Norton charted a new and highly productive course for an applied environmental philosophy, one fully engaged with the natural and social sciences as well as the management professions. A Sustainable Philosophy gathers together a distinguished group of scholars and professionals from a wide array of fields (including environmental philosophy, natural resource management, environmental economics, law, and public policy) to engage Norton’s work and its legacy for our shared environmental future. A study in the power of intellectual legacy and the real-world influence of philosophy, the book will be of great interest scholars and students in environmental philosophy, public policy and management, and environmental and sustainability studies. By considering the value and impact of Norton’s body of work it will also chart a course for the next generation of pragmatic environmental philosophers and sustainability scholars grappling with questions of environmental value, knowledge, and practice in a rapidly changing world."

Refounding environmental ethics: pragmatism, principle, and practice / Ben A. Minteer (2012)  

Public ISBD Titre : Refounding environmental ethics: pragmatism, principle, and practice Type de document : livre Auteurs : Ben A. Minteer, Auteur Editeur : Philadelphia : Temple University Press Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 198 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4399-0084-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Environmental ethics  Environmental responsibility  Environmentalism  Philosophy  Pragmatism Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Providing a bold and original rethinking of environmental ethics, Ben Minteer's Refounding Environmental Ethics will help ethicists and their allies resolve critical debates in environmental policy and conservation practice. Minteer considers the implications of John Dewey's pragmatist philosophy for environmental ethics, politics, and practice. He provides a new and compelling intellectual foundation for the field-one that supports a more activist, collaborative and problem-solving philosophical enterprise. Combining environmental ethics, democratic theory, philosophical pragmatism, and the environmental social sciences, Minteer makes the case for a more experimental, interdisciplinary, and democratic style of environmental ethics-one that stands as an alternative to the field's historically dominant “nature-centered” outlook. Minteer also provides examples of his pragmatic approach in action, considering a wide range of application and issues, including invasive species, ecological research, biodiversity loss, protected area management, and conservation under global climate change.
