Geography and Ethics: Journeys in a Moral Terrain

This book represents a landmark exploration of the common terrain of geography and ethics. Drawing together specially commissioned contributions from distinguished geographers accross the UK, North America and Australasia, the place of geography in ethics and of ethics in geography is examined through wide-ranging, thematic chapters. Geography and Ethics is divided into four sections for discussion and exploration of ideas: Ethics and Space; Ethics and Place; Ethics and Nature and Ethics and knowledge, all of which point to the rich interplay between geography and moral philosophy or ethics. This collection represents a landmark in literature discussing geography and ethics, benefitting from the close management of David Smith and James Proctor who are two leaders in this area of the discipline of geography.
