Description

Why should we save endangered species that lack obvious aesthetic, economic, or ecological benefits? This Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory volume addresses this profound philosophical question by examining the intrinsic goods inherent in species themselves. Author Ian A. Smith argues that a species' intrinsic value derives from its capacity to flourish-with organisms reproducing successfully and the species avoiding extinction. Through rigorous ethical analysis, Smith demonstrates that humans bear a moral obligation to preserve species we have endangered, grounded in respect for their intrinsic worth rather than instrumental value. The book emphasises the importance of humility in our relationships with endangered wildlife, advocating for preservation practices that honour the intrinsic goods of species themselves. Essential reading for students and scholars of environmental ethics, philosophy of biology, and conservation theory.

Key Features

Explores philosophical foundations of species intrinsic value within the Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory series framework.

Argues that species flourishing and reproduction success provide legitimate ethical grounds for preservation efforts.

Demonstrates human moral responsibility for protecting endangered species regardless of their economic or aesthetic utility.

Emphasises humility and respect in human-species relationships as central to ethical conservation practice.

Addresses the gap between conventional conservation justifications and deeper intrinsic value arguments for endangered wildlife protection.
