Aristotle's powers and responsibility for nature

This book argues that value persists in each individual living thing and that value in such things as ecosystems supervenes on the primary value of individuals. The book presents a new biocentric ethic based on Aristotle's metaphysics. It traces key ideas through Western Philosophy from Aristotle to modern theories of environmental ethics and demonstrates that Aristotelian notions have a significant role to play in understanding human moral obligations to nature. It is a scholarly book written in an easy style that will make it accessible to undergraduate students and those interested in Green philosophy.
