商品描述

Ecology is indispensable to understanding the biological world and addressing the environmental problems humanity faces. Its philosophy has never been more important. In this book, James Justus introduces readers to the philosophically rich issues ecology poses. Besides its crucial role in biological science generally, climate change, biodiversity loss, and other looming environmental challenges make ecology's role in understanding such threats and identifying solutions to them all the more critical. When ecology is applied and its insights marshalled to address these problems and guide policy formation, interesting philosophical issues emerge. Justus sets them out in detail, and explores the often ethically charged dimensions of applied ecological science, using accessible language and a wealth of scientifically-informed examples.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

生態學對於理解生物世界以及解決人類面臨的環境問題是不可或缺的。其哲學的重要性從未如此突出。在這本書中,詹姆斯·賈斯圖斯(James Justus)向讀者介紹了生態學所提出的哲學性豐富的議題。除了在生物科學中的關鍵角色外,氣候變遷、生物多樣性喪失以及其他迫在眉睫的環境挑戰,使得生態學在理解這些威脅及尋找解決方案方面的角色變得更加重要。當生態學被應用並且其見解被用來解決這些問題並指導政策形成時,許多有趣的哲學問題便會浮現。賈斯圖斯詳細闡述了這些問題,並探討了應用生態科學中常常涉及的倫理維度,使用易於理解的語言和大量科學知識豐富的例子。
