9Attfield and Animals: Capacities and Relations in Attfield's Environmental EthicsIn Rebekah Humphries & Sophie Vlacos (eds.), Creation, Environment and Ethics, Cambridge Scholars Press. pp. 105-120. 2011.Robin Attfield's work has been central to the development of environmental philosophy in a number of key areas, including stewardship, population, human development and the moral standing of living organisms.

Closer study of science by philosophers reveals that metaphors are inescapable and cognitively indispensable to science, but that metaphors are value-laden. As we confront the enormous challenges of…Read more
