PANTHEIST ETHICS

No formalized Code of Ethics is available for Pantheists, but these books may help each of us to formulate our own.

A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold.
Written in the 1940's, a classic by one of the first persons to write popularly on the ecological perspective. His essay on "The Land Ethic" provides the foundation for most modern environmental philosophy.

The Invisible Pyramid by Loren Eisely,Scribners & Sons, 1970.
Poetic, magical prose showing what man has lost by forgetting natural values.

Between Animal and Man by Michael W. Fox.
A veterinarian and humane society activist, Dr.Fox describes the scientific and philosophical reasons of why man needs to have a better relationship with other animals. Exploring New Ethics for Survival by Garrett Hardin, Viking Press, 1972.
A disturbing, thought-provoking book; often funny yet scary; you may not agree with everything Hardin says but you cannot ignore his facts.

Replenish the Earth by G. Tyler Miller, Wadsworth, 1972.
Describes several alternative approaches to an environmental ethic; Miller points out the derivation of environmental ethics is not as important as getting on with the business of actually developing that ethic.
