Ecological Ethics and the Philosophy of Simone Weil

"In response to the traumas of climate catastrophe, Lawson’s Ecological Ethics shows us that suffering and beauty can be integrated at the heart of environmental consciousness. Like Keller’s Face of the Deep and Leopold’s Sand County Almanac, this is a rare treasure that unites profound intellectual insight and ethical urgency."
Daniel O’Dea Bradley, Professor of Philosophy, Gonzaga University, USA
