about

This song is dedicated to Paul W. Taylor. The lyrical content from this song is a reading from Taylor’s essay “The Ethics of Respect for Nature”. In this essay Taylor presents the foundational strcture for a life-centered theory of environmental eithcs. The structure consists of three interrelated components. First is the adopting of a certain ultimate moral attitude toward nature, which He calls “respect for nature.” Second is a belief system that constitutes a way of conceiving of the natural world and of our place in it. This belief system underlies and supports the attitude in a way that makes it an appropriate attitude to take toward the Earth’s natural ecosystems and their life communities. Third is a system of moral rules and standards for guiding our treatment of those ecosystems and life communities, a set of normative principles which give concrete embodiment or expression to the attitude of respect for nature. The theory set forth and defended here is structurally symmetrical with a theory of human ethics based on the principle of respect for persons. His theory of biocentric egalitarianism was first published in his 1986 book Respect for Nature.
