Drawing on African social and ethical conceptions of existence, the book makes suggestions for how to derive environmental justice from African philosophies such as communitarian ethics, relational ethics, unhu/ubuntu ethics, ecofeminist ethics and intergenerational ethics. Specifically, the book emphasises the ways in which African philosophies of existence seek to involve everyone in environmental policy and planning, and to equitably distribute both environmental benefits (such as natural resources) and environmental burdens (such as pollution and the location of mining, industrial or dumping sites). This extends to fair distribution between global South and global North, rich and poor, urban and rural populations, men and women, and adults and children. These principles of humaneness, relationships, equality, interconnectedness, and teleologically-oriented existence among all beings is important not only to African environmental justice, but also to the environmental justice movement globally. The book will interest researchers and students working in the fields of environmental ethics, African philosophy and political philosophy in general"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Environmental ethics $z Africa. 650 0 $a Environmental justice $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Environmental justice $z Africa. 650 0 $a Philosophy, African. 650 6 $a Ethique de l'environnement $z Afrique. 650 6 $a Justice environnementale $x Philosophie. 650 6 $a Justice environnementale $z Afrique. 650 6 $a Philosophie africaine. 650 7 $a Environmental ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912979 650 7 $a Environmental justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913104 650 7 $a Philosophy, African. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060851 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 776 08 $i Online version: $a Chemhuru, Munamato. $t Environmental justice in African philosophy $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003176718 $w (DLC) 2021050829 830 0 $a Routledge studies in African philosophy. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019024918.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=09DB3E22C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
