On the Nature of “Nature”: The Real Meanings and Significance of John Stuart Mill’s Misunderstood Essay
John Stuart Mill is known as the first canonical Western philosopher to espouse a stationary state of economic growth, and as such he can be seen as an important totemic figure for reformist strategies in environmental ethics. However, his reputation among environmental thinkers has been rendered more ambiguous in recent years by increased attention to his essay “Nature.” The “Nature” essay has been much used lately by critics to oppose claims (1…
Ben A. Minteer. Refounding Environmental Ethics: Pragmatism, Principle, and Practice
Plumwood, Property, Selfhood and Sustainability
In her final book, Environmental Culture as well as elsewhere, Val Plumwood advances the view that sustainability should properly be seen as emergent from an ecofeminist partnership ethic of nourishment and support between humans and nonhuman nature, and that such an ethic must replace the characteristic institutional structures and dominant conceptions of rationality found in capitalist modernity. In making this case, Plumwood impressively chart…

Nature and Human Liberty: The Golden Country in George Orwell’s 1984 and an Alternative Conception of Human Freedom
The relationship of human liberty to both external nature and human inner nature entails a complex knot of questions that have long been the subject of intense philosophical discussion. In the modern era, a strong dichotomy developed between these concepts in which human freedom was counterposed to an apparently determinate nature that existed as a valueless res extensa. In this article, however, the author argues for the presence and vitality of…

Blood, Not Soil: Anna Bramwell and the Myth of “Hitler’s Green Party”
The antigreen backlash that began in the 1990s has constantly advanced charges of misanthropic extremism against ecologists, and these charges are dramatically illustrated by claims, most notably drawn from Anna Bramwell’s work, of historical or thematic linkage between ecologism and National Socialism. The author analyses Bramwell’s work both historically and systematically, arguing first that her claims of association between ecologism and Nazi…

Debate - Green Liberalisms: Nature, Agency and the Good
Marcel Wissenburg’s Green Liberalism attempts to reconcile liberalism and ecologism by capturing the substance of most green demands within a formalistic liberal framework. Using historical analysis, I argue that formalistic modern liberalisms in practice reverse into particular models of human nature and the self, embodying particular background ideals of human nature, flourishing and agency which may be more or less conducive to green outcomes.…
Picking at the Locke of Economic Reductionism
In this chapter some historical, political and epistemological themes in relation to property rights are examined, with particular reference to the predominant social construction of the natural environment as being solely an economic resource. I will argue that the political thought of John Locke is of focal importance in understanding the historic roots of environmental crisis, supporting this by reference to a reading of Lockean theory which e…
