dc.description.abstractRolston found that, loving wisdom, he had to quarrel with Socrates, taking a natural turn. Indeed he found that he had to quarrel with the three disciplines he most loved: science, philosophy, and theology. None of them appropriately valued nature, which he had learned to love from the cradle in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and continuing as he became in his early adult years a naturalist in the Southern Appalachians. He became increasingly convinced of the intrinsic values in nature and equally dismayed by environmental degradation there. That led him to become a founder of environmental ethics. No one can really become a philosopher, loving wisdom, without caring for these sources in which we live, move, and have our being, the community of life on Earth.
