Introduction The history of ethics, which starts about the period of 6 thcentury B.C., was entirely related to moral philosophy which has its own uniqueness and was divided into three periods. The medieval era of ethics started from 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D; the foremost subject of debate in the medieval times was its acceptance by early English positivists. After the medieval period we move to the illuminated times and proceed with Hobbes the father of modern ethics and this period started from 1500 A.D. onwards. After Hobbes the thoughts of English and German ethics have been distinguished. So because of that the English Intuitionists (naturalists) served by Utilitarian's got opposed to Kantian ethics but in the 19th century these have been discussed very furiously in Europe. The evolution concepts into physical sciences and development of ethics developed by Comte, Darwin, Spencer backed by Green made the impact of evolutionary concepts in 20thcentury also, but still shared amid Utilitarian's and Kantians (Kant's categorical Imperative).1 In ethical institution each period had its own special characteristics. In the Greek period the state shaped the background of the moral life, and who so ever performed his duties as a responsible citizens was regarded as a good man. The medieval period was dominated by Christian religion in Europe, so because of that the good moral life was identified with the holy religious point of view. In the modern life, morality is concerned with individual's rights and duties in order to free other individuals.2 The term ethics has been derived from the Greek word ethikos which itself is derived from the Greek word Ethos, which means custom or character. The ethical behavior which is good in itself is considered good in philosophy. The area of ethics considers the concept of right as well as wrong behavior. The individual and societal desires and motivations does change but the concepts of right and wrong does not change as they are not referring to the given conditions, they are changeless.3 Ethics is the science of human behavior which deals with the right and wrong actions of a person. Ethics is considered as the normative science of human conduct which is made up of voluntary actions of a person. Conduct is composed of an inward and outward action of a person. Conduct does not include such activities of humans like blood circulation of which most of the people have no control, but it includes the voluntary actions of a person. Voluntary actions are such type of actions which are chosen by our conscious impetus, and includes willing and volitional of actions. In,

This book argues that the standard arguments for and against the claim that certain Hindu texts and traditions attribute direct moral standing to animals and plants are unconvincing. It presents careful, extensive, and original interpretations of passages from the Manusmrti (law), the Mahābhārata (literature), and the Yogasūtra (philosophy), and argues that these texts attribute direct moral standing to animals and plants for at least three reasons: they are sentient, they are alive, and they possess a range of other relevant attributes and abilities. This book is of interest to scholars of Hinduism and the environment, religion and the environment, Hindu and/or Buddhist philosophy more broadly, and environmental ethics.

Disparate perceptions and conceptual frameworks of environment and the relationship between humans and nature often lead to confusion, constraints on co-operation and collaboration and even conflict when society tries to deal with today’s urgent and complex environment research and policy challenges. Such disparities in perception and "world view" are driven by many factors. They include differences in culture, religion, ethical frameworks, scientific methodologies and approaches, disciplines, political, social and philosophical traditions, life styles and consumption patterns as well as alternative economic paradigms. Distribution of poverty or wealth between north and south may thus be seen as consequence of the above mentioned disparities, which is a challenge for it’s universal reasoned evaluation. This volume discusses a wide range of factors influencing "Environment across Cultures" with a view to identifying ways and means to better understand, reflect and manage such disparities within future global environmental research and policy agendas for bridging the gap between ecology and economy as well as between societies. The book is based upon the results of a scientific symposium on this topic and covers the following sections: Cross Cultural Perception of Environment; Ethics and Nature; Environment, Sustainability and Society. Corresponding contributions were made by well-known scientific authors representing different cultural spheres in accordance with the inter-cultural approach of this effort.

Working within a framework of environmental philosophy and environmental ethics, this book describes and postulates alternative understandings of nature in Indian traditions of thought, particularly philosophy. The interest in alternative conceptualizations of nature has gained significance after many thinkers pointed out that attitudes to the environment are determined to a large extent by our presuppositions of nature. This book is particularly timely from that perspective. It begins with a brief description of the concept of nature and a history of the idea of nature in Western thought. This provides readers with a context to the issues around the concept of nature in environmental philosophy, setting a foundation for further discussion about alternate conceptualizations of nature and their significance. In particular, the work covers a wide array of textual and non-textual sources to link and understand nature from classical Indian philosophical perspectives as well as popular understandings in Indian literary texts and cultural practices. Popular issues in environmental philosophy are discussed in detail, such as: What is ‘nature’ in Indian philosophy? How do people perceive nature through landscape and mythological and cultural narratives? In what ways is nature sacred in India? To make the discussion relevant to contemporary readers, the book includes a section on the ecological and ethical implications of some philosophical concepts and critical perspectives on alternate conceptualizations of nature.

How can we make ethical decisions about our environment in the face of increasingly conflicting needs and opinions? This collection of essays offers a wide range of viewpoints representing many of the world's cultural and religious traditions to help readers better make such determinations for themselves. The authors seek to clarify the ethical principles surrounding the concept of "sustainable development." They provide a synoptic overview of the contemporary moral challenge of sustainable development and the similarities and differences in its interpretation throughout the world. In bringing together contributions by authorities in environmental ethics and developmental ethics, and by those who are addressing these questions from the perspectives of religion and humanistic philosophy, the book develops the concept of sustainability as the ethical approach to reconciling the needs of environmental conservation with economic development.

This book shows that environmental protection is a global concern that must enlist all of humanity’s cultural, religious, and moral resources. The nine essays in this volume explore the foundations of environmental ethics in the Western philosophical tradition as well as from the perspectives of Christianity, Islam, Daoism, and Buddhism and propose morally responsible attitudes towards nature and the environment.
