森林伦理和多价值森林管理
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1999) Coufal, James E., author; Rolston, Holmes, 1932-2025, author; Institute of Philosophy, publisher
The Society of American Foresters (SAF) has long had an ethic of using forests to benefit society. Now many foresters, prompted by Aldo Leopold and his land ethic, are wondering if SAF does not need a forest ethic, respecting the integrity of natural systems, to complement its ethic for society. Forests are communities as well as commodities. Forest management ought to expand from an ethical of multiple use to one of protecting multiple values found in forests.

遵循大自然
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1998) Rolston, Holmes, 1932-2025, author; Institute of Philosophy, publisher
In an absolute law-of-nature sense, persons inevitably follow nature. In an artifactual sense, it is impossible. Any answer must be sought in relative senses. Four are examined. The homeostatic sense is nonmoral. The imitative ethical sense is immoral. In an axiological sense we can and ought to follow nature as on object of orienting value. In a tutorial sense we can sometimes learn from nature something of our human role and character.
