Abstract
This article argues that there are three tendencies in much of contemporary environmental ethics: the reduction of ethical questions to issues of personal consciousness, the almost opposite tendency of extending social and political categories inappropriately to the non-human world, and the view that the fundamental battle is between biocentrism and anthropocentrism. All of these, the author insists, have the effect of deflecting attention from fundamental political issues that originally inspired environmental ethics as a discipline, and he urges that the focus return more to issues in political theory.
