Description
Summary:Davion examines Val Plumwood's theoretical work. She is described as an environmentalist-philosopher-feminist-author-activist-botanist-ecologist-naturalist-friend-conservationist-survivor-musician. Her work focused primarily upon looking at how anthropocentrism rests upon the problematic assumption that there is a significant moral division between humans and the rest of nature, and her work provided a systematic analysis of how this division has been historically constructed in the dominant western tradition.
