Overview
I'm working on a philosophy writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
Textbook, Ned Hettinger & Bill Throop, Refocusing Ecocentrism, pages 193-201
answer each question in less than 50 words (per answer). Use your own words unless you feel that a quotation is necessary. If you use a quote, provide a citation. Citing page numbers is encouraged.
- 1. What do Hettinger & Throop say leads some ecologists away from thinking of ecosystems in terms of stability, equilibria, etc.?
2. What ethically unsavory implications do Hettinger & Throop say follow from thinking about ecocentrism in terms of equilibria, stability, etc.?
3. What reasons do Hettinger & Throop provide for their claim that wildness is a primary ecological value that makes sense of what we value in / about nature?
