Environmental thought has a rich and extensive history. Philosopher Robin Attfield guides readers through the key developments and debates that have defined the field from ancient times to the present.Attfield investigates ancient, medieval and early modern environmental contributions; Darwin and his successors; the debate in America involving Thoreau, Marsh, Muir and Pinchot; the foundation of the science of ecology in the Western world; and twentieth century trailblazers like Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson. Central themes of key environmentalist works of the 1970s and 1980s are discussed, along with the major debates in environmental philosophy, including Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis. Attfield then turns to the current environmental emergency, encompassing the crises of climate change, air pollution and biodiversity loss, exploring contemporary intellectual responses to it. Each chapter concludes with a list of recommended readings, selected to invite readers to explore the book's topics in greater depth.The book will become a pivotal text in its field, of interest to students and scholars of history, philosophy, ethics, geography, religion, biology and environmental studies.

Chacun des essais réunis dans ce recueil témoigne de la façon dont William Cronon, en intellectuel engagé, a profondément renouvelé les manières d’écrire l’histoire. Par l’étude des changements environnementaux entraînés par la colonisation des États-Unis, ces écrits questionnent non seulement la figure du chercheur en historien de l’environnement mais, plus encore, le rôle que peut jouer l’histoire environnementale dans la compréhension des bouleversements écologiques actuels. Comment les identités humaines sont-elles façonnées par leur rapport à la nature ? Quelle place attribuer au « sens du lieu », à l’heure de la montée irrépressible de l’échelle globale ? La forme rhétorique du récit permet-elle de rendre compte des inégalités et des rapports de force qui se tissent autour de la nature ? En retraçant les relations, souvent obscures, entre l’histoire humaine et les changements écologiques, l’histoire environnementale ouvre des pistes précieuses pour penser et agir avec le monde qui nous entoure. Nature et récits est le premier livre à introduire William Cronon en France.

In this book, Simon James draws on a range of philosophical and literary sources to develop original answers to these and other questions, setting out a refreshingly new approach to environmental philosophy"--Provided by publisher.
