This book represents a landmark exploration of the terrains common to geography and moral philosphy, or ethics. Drawing together specially commissioned contributions from distinguished geographers accross the UK, North America and Australasia, the place of geography in ethics and of ethics in geography is examined through wide-ranging, thematic chapters. Geography and Ethics is divided into four sections for discussion and exploration of ideas, following major thematic emphases in the discipline of geography: ethics and space; ethics and place; ethics and nature and ethics and knowledge. Each section points to the rich interplay between geography and ethics. This collection represents a milestone in literature discussing geography and ethics, benefitting from the close management of David Smith and James Proctor who are two leaders in this emerging subfield of geography.
