Features: This book is one of the classic works in environmental ethics. The author argues that the environment is a common issue facing all humanity, but to fundamentally solve the ecological crisis, it is necessary to start from the perspective of repositioning the relationship between humans and nature in terms of values, and systematically elaborates on an environmental ethics based on the respect for the objective value of nature, which is nonanthropocentric. In terms of content, the book can be divided into three main parts. Chapter 1 provides an overall overview of the value of nature and the obligations humans bear; Chapters 2 to 6 delve into the essence and characteristics of natural value; Chapters 7 to 9 explore the application of environmental ethics in business, policy, and management.
