Böcker av Holmes Rolston

"Rolston's presentation of the methods of science, along with up-to-date summaries of the main achievements of the various sciences, is commendable for its clarity and critical acumen."

Presents an account of values carried by the natural world, coupled with an inquiry into duties toward animals, plants, species, and ecosystems. This work illustrates the philosophy of nature with numerous actual examples of ethical decisions made in encounters with fauna and flora, endangered species, and threatened ecosystems.

Rolston argues that the phenomena of religion and ethics can not be reduced to the phenomena of biology. The book is written by one of the most well-respected figures in the philosophy of biology and religion.
