Joseph Claude Evans, "With Respect For Nature: Living As Part Of The Natural World (Suny Series in Environmental Philosophy and Ethics)"

Many environmentalists say that unless we change the way we live, we will destroy both the world we live in and ultimately ourselves. Fundamental changes are required in our understanding both of ourselves and of the natural world.

Environmental thinkers have also argued that the sources of environmental crisis lie deep in the origins of Western civilization, in our most fundamental understanding of what it is to be human and to live an appropriately human life, and in our conception of the natural world. If this is true, then in addition to deciding how to regulate our industry—controlling pollution, economizing on resource use, developing sustainable agriculture, etc.—we face problems that call for a fundamental moral reorientation.

In all religious and philosophical traditions, one’s sense of moral obligation—be it to other human beings, to animals, or to nature—always involves a specific understanding of both the moral self and the other to whom the self relates in moral action. All the major ethical theories in the Western philosophical tradition—from Socrates and Plato, through Aristotelian virtue ethics and Kantian deontology, to utilitarianism—have disagreed about two related ideas: what it means to be human and what it means to relate morally to an other.

However, all of these traditions have shared the basic assumption that the morally significant other is human: family, friends, fellow citizens, or fellow human beings. This is true even when these moral relationships are established or supported by God. Given this tradition, any deep shift in our relationship to nature will require a new understanding of what it means for human beings to relate to the natural world and to live a moral life as part of that world.
