摘要:Gary E. Varner presents a carefully argued response to what he characterizes as "two dogmas of environmentalism"--The assumptions that animal rights philosophies and anthropocentric views are each antithetical to sound environmental policy. He defends a "biocentric individualist" stance that gives priority to the lives of animals with conscious desires and to certain human interests and shows that such a view is able to support the goals on the environmentalist agenda.
