Ecofeminist Philosophy : A Western Perspective on What It is and Why It Matters

How are the unjustified dominations of women and other humans connected to the unjustified domination of animals and nonhuman nature?

What are the characteristics of oppressive conceptual frameworks and systems of unjustified domination?

How does an ecofeminist perspective help one understand issues of environmental and social justice?

In this important new work, Karen J. Warren answers these and other questions from a Western perspective.

Warren looks at the variety of positions in ecofeminism, the distinctive nature of ecofeminist philosophy, ecofeminism as an ecological position, and other aspects of the movement to reveal its significance to both understanding and creatively changing patriarchal (and other) systems of unjustified domination.
