保罗·泰勒的《尊重自然》于1986年首次出版，当时环境伦理学还是一个相对较新的领域。在书中，他捍卫了一种义务论的、以生物为中心的环境伦理，这种伦理基于所有生物都有内在价值的观点。这是非人类中心主义伦理学的开创性著作，从那时起，它就经常被选编并用于世界各地的伦理学和环境哲学课程。《尊重自然》二十五周年纪念版（2011）包含了戴尔·贾米森（Dale Jamieson）的两页前言，他指出知识分子考虑“尊重自然”的意义的紧迫性。当《尊重自然》首次出版时，大多数职业伦理学家都不清楚如何看待我们对非人类世界的道德责任。泰勒为我们提供了一种思考此类问题的独特方式，至今仍具有现实意义。
Paul Taylor’s Respect for Nature was first published 1986 when environmental ethics was a relatively new field. In it he defended a deontological biocentric environmental ethic predicated on the idea that all living beings have inherent value. It was a groundbreaking work in non-anthropocentric ethics, and since then it has been frequently anthologized and used in ethics and environmental philosophy courses taught around the world. The Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition of Respect for Nature (2011) contains a two-page forward by Dale Jamieson, who notes the continued urgency for intellectuals to consider the meaning of “respect for nature.” When Respect for Nature was first published, most professional ethicists were unclear on how to think about our moral duties to the non-human world. Taylor has provided us a unique way of thinking about such matters that is still relevant today.
