The ethics of environmental concern

Examines traditional attitudes toward nature and the degree to which these attitudes enable people to cope with modern ecological problems. It looks particularly at the Judaeo-Christian heritage of belief in man's dominion, the tradition of stewardship and the more recent belief in progress.
