A new era for Environmental Values
The ecology of finitude
Nature Breaks through Our Worldviews
Finding Ways and Means to Love Nature
What does it mean to want a better future for the natural world? What is required for us to desire ecological and social change? How can we love nature? In Plato's Symposium (203b) Socrates, channelling the priestess Diotima, argues that Eros (desire/love) has two parents: Resource is his father and Poverty is his mother. Eros has characteristics of both his parents. For Socrates this is the condition of philosophy, the love of wisdom, that one i…
Plurality, Engagement, Openness
As incoming Editor and Deputy Editor we describe our impression of the current situation that those committed to understanding and upholding environmental values find themselves in. We consider some of the factors that make enviornmental concern difficult to maintain, including conditions that affect us as academics, publishers, global citizens and activists. We describe some of the emerging trends that have appeared in Environmental Values in re…
Magic, Emotion and Practical Metabolism: Affective Praxis in Sartre and Collingwood
This article develops a new way of understanding the integration of emotions in practical life and the practical appraisal of emotions, drawing on insights from both J-P. Sartre and R. G. Collingwood. I develop a concept of “practical metabolism” and show that emotions need to be understood not only as transformations from determinate to indeterminate practical intuitions, but also as transformations in the reverse direction. Firstly, I provide a…
The Appearance, Disappearance and Reappearance of Nature
Where Value Resides: Making Ecological Value Possible
Distinguishing between the source and the locus of value enables environmental philosophers to consider not only what is of value, but also to try to develop a conception of valuation that is itself ecological. Such a conception must address difficulties caused by the original locational metaphors in which the distinction is framed. This is done by reassessing two frequently employed models of valuation, perception, and desire, and going on to sh…
Climate Change and the Moral Agent: Individual Duties in an Interdependent World
Together with many of us, Elizabeth Cripps is deeply concerned about the moral implications of our failure to adequately respond to catastrophic climate change. She is concerned about the implicati
Environmental Arts as First Philosophy: This Too a NeoPresocratic Manifesto
I offer a response and counter argument to J. Baird Callicott's "Provocations" piece in Environmental Humanities, volume 2. I argue that the historical narrative that Callicott derives from Aristotle regarding the development of philosophical thought from natural philosophy to social and moral concerns, is not the best way to conceive of the project of the Presocratics. Nor does this narrative offer us the best way to conceive of the distinctive …
Fighting like a Community: Andean Civil Society in an Era of Indian Uprisings by Rudi Colloredo-Mansfeld
A Self-Research Method for Small Groups
Recently we had the opportunity to formulate and manage a research project in which a small group examined and analyzed its own experience. It was a new venture for us and we found little in the way of existing models or examples in methodological texts to guide us. Yet, groups, whether committees, or project teams, or departments of corporations, are frequently directed to review their work and identify their strengths and weaknesses. We wondere…
AAA Human Rights History Projects Complete First Phase
Examining Indigenous Rights to Culture in North America
Indian tribal groups in the United States and Canada are vigorously asserting cultural ownership of the content of cultures with which they identify, ownership rights that allow them to prevent others from appropriating that content, or to use it only with conditions. Additionally, they assert the right to their own cultural futures, to practice an evolving cultural form with sufficient natural and fiscal resources to be viable, and the right to …
Remembering Herbert Applebaum, 1925-2001
Introduction to the Issue: The Real Work of Foil Man
Stargate Messages
The arrival of Europeans in North America resulted in the outright extinction of many Indian peoples, and, for those who survived, confinement to small reservations. Despite a subsequent cascade of determined efforts by Euro-Americans to extinguish the Indians' cultural lineages, the reservations allowed tribal groups to nurture and retain key elements of their ancestral cultures. Reservations, however, were composed of only a fraction of the lan…

The Intellectual Property of Sovereign Tribes
This article discusses how indigenous groups are using intellectual property rights (IPR) law and how these rights are being expanded. Indigenous groups and their advocates in the United States, Canada, and other countries are experimenting aggressively with IPR to solve a keenly felt problem: how to gain control over what outsiders can use of indigenous culture. The main instruments of intellectual property are ill suited for this job; however, …
