Anna L. Peterson
- ... that Anna L. Peterson argues that the usual separation of animal and environmental ethics is based on mistaken conceptions of humans, animals, nature and their relationship?
(Source: From Andrew Woodhall's review of Peterson's book: "Peterson's book offers an appraisal of current approaches to environmental and animal ethics and deftly critiques the traditional division between the two fields. Attempts to unite the two fields, Peterson claims, have made little progress. Most have concluded that the divide between the two is irreconcilable, but Peterson argues that the divide is counterintuitive, does not reflect our current practice, and does not represent nature, nonhuman-animals, or humanity, correctly. // Throughout the book Peterson attempts to demonstrate why other theories have failed, arguing that the mutual exclusivity of the two fields derives from each relying on an incorrect idea of how nature, nonhumans, and humans relate to—and depend upon— each other.")
