The book analyses the ethical dimensions of environment. There is dearth of literature on this aspect and the present work is a humble contribution to enrich this aspect of environmental ethics. Only four aspects of the ethical dimensions of environment have been taken into consideration. The first dimension deals with concepts and related issues of environmental ethics, its various approaches and the philosophical development in the field. In the second dimension, an attempted has been made to link economic development with environmental ethics. This involves the study of cost-benefit analysis of environment. The scope and subject matter of ecological economics are also discussed. The third dimension analyses the social issues associated with environmental ethics. The major issues included are the ethical aspects of land, animals, population, quality of life, and globalization as these aspects impact our environment to a great extent. Finally, the religious traditions and their impact on environment have been analysed. These religious traditions are the historical roots of our present ecological crisis. Therefore, their analysis will go a long way in understanding the environmental crisis and finding a solution.
