Féminisme et écoféminisme
Feminism and the Mastery of Nature
Val Plumwood (1939–2008) was an Australian ecofeminist philosopher deeply critical of the “androcentric,” or male-centered, viewpoint she identified at the heart of what she called the “standpoint of mastery.” Plumwood argues in this essay that such a view is built on a false dichotomy that strictly separates reason (associated with males) from non-reason or feeling (associated with females). By extension, this distinction also splits culture (se…
Intergenerational Multispecies Justice
BACKWARDS, IT PROMISES THE restoration of a moral order heretofore disrespected and violated; looking forward, the establishment of the institutional conditions in which lives might flourish without fear of arbitrary deprivation and harm.This, at least, is the ideal.In practice, under conditions where the logics of colonialism, capitalism, extractivism and human exceptionalism remain hegemonic, the justice mainstream institutions deliver all too …

Ecofeminist Analysis and the Culture of Ecological Denial
La nature, le moi et le genre
L’auteure répond aux critiques adressées par les philosophes féministes à la philosophie environnementale. Le problème viendrait du fait que celle-ci ait repris des hypothèses issues d’analyses, rationalistes et ethnocentrées, biaisées par un préjugé de genre, concevant la raison comme radicalement distincte du corps et des émotions et appelée à exercer un contrôle sur celles-ci, les femmes, le corps et la nature. Au contraire de la thèse identif…
The Eye of the Crocodile
The questions the Routleys and their colleagues unearthed and tackled in the 1970s were questions that would help to set the agenda for environmental philosophy.In those early days they were mainly writing for other philosophers, and being logicians as well as environmental thinkers, their papers drew heavily on the vocabulary of logical and semantic theory.This background in logic gave both the Routleys prodigious intellectual muscle, and later,…

Val Plumwood (1939Plumwood ( -2008) ) was a founding intellectual and activist in the global movement that came to be known as ecofeminism
Nature in the Active Voice
It seems increasingly possible that our immediate descendants, and perhaps many of those now living, will face the ultimate challenge of human viability: reversing our drive towards destroying our planetary habitat. Two important recent books, one by Jared Diamond (2005) and the other by Ronald Wright (2004), show how cultures that have been unable to change a bad ecological course have gone down. The appearance of ecological crises on the multip…
Tasteless
In this posthumously published paper Val Plumwood reflects on two personal encounters with death, being seized as prey by a crocodile and burying her son in a country cemetery with a flourishing botanic community. She challenges the exceptionalism which sets the human self apart from nature and which is reflected in the choice between two conceptions of death, one of continuity in the realm of spirit, the other a reductive materialist conception …
Journey to the Heart of Stone
Can environmental writing help break down the wall of human/nature dualism that has long separated western culture from the larger-than-human-world? Critical thought can help by tackling concepts like anthropomorphism and sentimentality whose main function is to delegitimate boundary breakdown between the human and non-human. But creative writing can also play an important part by making visible new possibilities for radically open and non-reduct…
Political Theory and the Ecological Challenge
In recent years the engagement between the environmental 'agenda' and mainstream political theory has become increasingly widespread and profound. Each has affected the other in palpable and important ways, and it makes increasing sense for political theorists in each camp to engage with one another. This book, first published in 2006, draws together the threads of this interconnecting enquiry in order to assess its status and meaning. Andrew Dob…
The Concept of a Cultural Landscape
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Report issued in April 2005 shows how severely our civilisation is degrading and overstressing the natural systems that support human life and all other lives on earth. An important critical challenge, especially for the eco-humanities, is to help us understand the conceptual frameworks and systems that disappear the crucial support provided by natural systems and prevent us from seeing nature as a field of age…
Care-sensitive ethics and situated universalism
We have been invited to address the question whether concepts of justice can and should be mapped on to non-humans. I think the answer to this question must be affirmative, but it is a complex affirmation that is required. My argument is a two-pronged one: I will argue, against those who insist we must confine ethical concepts to the human, that we can map a range of ethical stances that are components of justice on to non-human nature, and that …
Feminism and the Mastery of Nature
Two of the most important political movements of the late twentieth century are those of environmentalism and feminism. In this book, Val Plumwood argues that feminist theory has an important opportunity to make a major contribution to the debates in political ecology and environmental philosophy. Feminism and the Mastery of Nature explains the relation between ecofeminism, or ecological feminism, and other feminist theories including radical gre…
Symposium - Green Thinking - from Australia
Nature as Agency and the Prospects for a Progressive Naturalism
Integrating Ethical Frameworks for Animals, Humans, and Nature A Critical Feminist Eco-Socialist Analysis
The Struggle for Environmental Philosophy in Australia
Australian settler philosophy needs to create the basis for two important cultural dialogues, with the philosophy of Aboriginal people on the one hand, and with the land the settler way of life is destroying on the other. Through these interconnected dialogues we might begin the process of resolving in a positive way the unhappy anxieties surrounding Australian identity. Mainstream Australian academic philosophy has certainly not provided fertile…
Inequality, Ecojustice and Ecological Rationality
The Rationality of the EcoRepublic I invite you to join me in imagining a future ecological and global version of Plato’s great rationalist utopia, the EcoRepublic. A global scientist leader, notable for his rationality and brilliant scientific knowledge, establishes a major decision-making discipline of Eco-Guardianship (called THE WAY) designed to generate a global bureaucratic-military class of rational decision-makers. Their skills, like thos…

Nature, Self, and Gender
Rationalism is the key to the connected oppressions of women and nature in the West. Deep ecology has failed to provide an adequate historical perspective or an adequate challenge to human/nature dualism. A relational account of self enables us to reject an instrumental view of nature and develop an alternative based on respect without denying that nature is distinct from the self. This shift of focus links feminist, environmentalist, and certain…

Nature as Agency and the Prospects for a Progressive Naturalism
Has democracy failed ecology? An Ecofeminist perspective
The superiority of democracy over other political systems in detecting and responding to ecological problems lies in its capacity for correctiveness. That this correctiveness is not operating well in liberal democracy is a further reason for questioning its identification with democracy. The radical inequality that increasingly thrives in liberal democracy is an indicator not only of the capacity of its privileged groups to distribute social good…

Moral Dilemmas and the Logic of Deontic Notions
Ethics and Instrumentalism
I argue that Janna Thompson’s critique of environmental ethics misrepresents the work of certain proponents of non-instrumental value theory and overlooks the ways in which intrinsie values have been related to valuers and their preferences. Some of the difficulties raised for environmental ethics (e.g., individuation) are real but would only be fatal if environmental ethics could not be supplemented by a wider environmental philosophy and practi…
