Environmental pragmatism is a new strategy in environmental thought. It argues that theoretical debates are hindering the ability of the environmental movement to forge agreement on basic policy imperatives. This new direction in environmental thought moves beyond theory advocating a serious inquiry into the merits of moral pluralism. Environmental pragmatism as a coherent philosophical position connects the methodology of classical American pragmatic thought to the explanation solution and discussion of real issues.This concise well-focused collection is the first comprehensive presentation of environmental pragmatism as a new philosophical approach to environmental thought and policy.
