Relational Ethics examines the dynamic and relational nature of ethics and explores the moral status of the world around us. Unlike ethical traditions that exclude non-human entities from moral significance or posit a sharp duality between subjects and objects or nature and culture, the contributors in this volume expand our moral circle to the environment, technological artifacts, and other non-human entities. Drawing from a diverse range of disciplinary perspectives, cultural traditions, and experiences, the contributors in this volume show readers the implications of a relational perspective for our ethical practices and our understanding of the world around us. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of relational ethics and a lively resource for exploring its current debates and developments.
