Abstract

Norton provides the best of the philosophical and policy-oriented efforts to justify conservation. Academics and policy makers here enter a stimulating colloquy about saving endangered species, strikingly illustrating how so called "applied philosophy" also requires exploring theoretical issues. Norton claims, however, that we do not always have to solve such issues to agree on management strategies.
