Publisher's Synopsis
Westra asks the questions, 'What does 'integrity' mean?' and 'Is there a moral doctrine that would support both the ideal and the obligation that integrity engenders?' The answers to these questions lead to the formulation of a principle which proposes that all our moral doctrines should be preceded by a principle aimed at preserving a philosophical analysis and defense of environmental integrity, then explores some of the practical implications of a principle of integrity for environmental ethics.
