The missing part in today's environmental debate is an in-depth understanding of the idea of Naturalness, and what, if anything, it denotes. This book discusses what we mean by 'natural' in general and works out an original concept of naturalness that can serve as a guide to understand the real limits of our manipulations in times where our powers to rearrange nature reaches new levels continually. This book is an effort to develop a philosophically plausible and practically viable concept of naturalness in such a way that this issue can be generally discussed and considered. The goal is to show why naturalness has been abandoned in modern academic discourse, why it is important to explicitly re-establish some kind of meaning for the concept and what that meaning ought to be. The book maintains that a certain account of naturalness may offer a point of view where the gap between instrumental and ethical perspectives can be bridged. Arguing that naturalness can be understood in light of a dispositional ontology, the book shows that it is possible for someone to maintain that there really is a right and a wrong way to manipulate nature. This topical book will be of great interest to researchers and postgraduate students in Environmental Philosophy, Environmental Ethics, Science and Technology Studies and all those engaged in environmental debates about the place of man 'in nature'.
The concept of naturalness has largely disappeared from the academic discourse in general but also the particular field of environmental studies. This book is about naturalness in general - about why the idea of naturalness has been abandoned in modern academic discourse, why it is important to explicitly re-establish some meaning for the concept and what that meaning ought to be. Arguing that naturalness can and should be understood in light of a dispositional ontology, the book offers a point of view where the gap between instrumental and ethical perspectives can be bridged. Reaching a new foundation for the concept of 'naturalness' and its viability will help raise and inform further discussions within environmental philosophy and issues occurring in the crossroads between science, technology and society. This topical book will be of great interest to researchers and students in Environmental Studies, Environmental Philosophy, Science and Technology Studies, Conservation Studies as well as all those generally engaged in debates about the place of 'man in nature'.
