Moral geographies : ethics in a world of difference
This book explores the interface between geography, ethics and morality. After introducing the essential elements of moral philosophy from Plato to postmodernism, the author examines the moral significance of concepts of landscape, location and place, proximity, distance and community, space and territory, justice, and nature. The meaning, possibility and limits of social justice lie at the heart of the book. That geographical context is vital to the understanding of moral practice and ethical theory is its central proposition. [from publisher's advertisement]
