Ecologism is a political ideology based on the position that the non-human world is worthy of moral consideration, and that this should be taken into account in social, economic and political systems. This text provides a comprehensive introduction to this philosophy, which is recognized as a major development in environmental politics. Brian Baxter probes the metaphysical, moral, political and economic facets of ecologism. Bringing the central themes of contemporary political theory into contact with green political theory, he compares ecologism to such mainstream ideologies as utilitarianism, Rawlsian liberalism, libertarianism, Marxism and feminism.
