Summary:
"Do
hunting
and
fishing
lead to the development of
environmental
virtues? This question is at the heart of philosopher Charles List's engaging study, which provides a defense of field sports when they are practiced and understood in an ethical manner. In his argument, List examines the connection between certain activities and the development of
virtue
in the classical sources, such as Aristotle and Plato. He then explores the work of Aldo Leopold, identifying three key
environmental
virtues that field sports instill in practitioners in the kind of
conservation
advocated by Leopold and others. After reviewing several powerful philosophical objections to his viewpoint, List considers the future of
environmental
sportsmanship
. He suggests that, in order to incorporate a revived connection between field sports and
environmental
virtue
, the practice of
hunting
and angling must undergo changes, including shifts that would impact hunter education, civic engagement, the role of firearms, our understanding of 'game' animals, and alliances with other sorts of outdoor recreation."--From publisher.
