Summary

This book addresses the use of Spinoza’s philosophy in current attempts to elaborate an ecological basis for international environmental law. As the question of environmental protection remains unresolved, the legal debate concerning responsibility for the environment has invited calls for an eco-centric, rather than anthro-centric, legal paradigm.
