PHILOSOPHY AND BIODIVERSITY; ED. BY MARKKU OKSANEN

"This collection focuses on the nature and importance of biodiversity. The concept is clarified and its intrinsic and instrumental value is discussed. Even though the term biodiversity was invented in the 1980s to promote the cause of species conservation, discussions on biological diversity go back to Plato." "The book will be of interest to philosophers of science and biologists, but also to anyone interested in conservation and the environment."--Jacket.
