Description :
In this inspiring book the author defines the field of General Ethics and offers the first example of a truly general ethics. He develops a single, integrated approach to ethics that encompasses the realms of interhuman ethics, the ethics of the natural environment, and the ethics of the built environment. Thus, offering the first example of an ethical “Theory of Everything.”
“This book is striking in its originality. It aims at a very ambitious goal: the development of an ethical theory that encompasses the domains of human relationships, nonhuman animals, and the rest of nature, including the built environment. Remarkably, it succeeds in achieving this goal.”
