RACHEL CARSONS ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS

[Article]

Philip Cafaro

Leiden

Brill

Rachel Carson is well known as a founder of the modern environmental movement. This article argues that her life and writings have much to offer contemporary environmental philosophy. I begin by discussing the environmental ethics articulated in Silent Spring. I next examine Carson's earlier natural history writings and the non-anthropocentrism they express. I conclude with some suggestions for how Carson points the way forward for environmental ethics. Rachel Carson is well known as a founder of the modern environmental movement.
