dc.description.abstractBrennan, a Scottish philosopher, seeks to keep philosophy ecologically honest. He is keenly attentive to what sort of environmental ethics has scientific support. He calls this eco-humanism. Yet there is nothing in scientific ecology that grounds any metaphysics. There is, however, supervenience, genuinely emergent properties. This results in an ethical polymorphism.
