Ethics for a Full World

Or, Can Animal-Lovers Save the World?

Beschreibung

The global emergencies facing the inhabitants of our planet - climate change, biodiversity meltdown, ocean acidification, overfishing, land degradation and more - are symptoms of a common problem: the world is full. Burkey argues that non-anthropocentric ethics and the people who hold them, could be key to turning the tide.
