Zusammenfassung:Hourdequin and Wong extract from Chinese classical philosophy a relational conception of self that shows how other individuals enter into the identities of human beings. They extend this relational conception, drawing on Confucian, Western Apache and Inuit traditions to explain how the nonhuman world can enter into human identities. This broadened relational conception offers an alternative to the instrumentalist and intrinsic value approaches to environmental ethics.
