“To conclude, Millstein presents a compelling case that Leopold’s land ethic, properly interpreted, offers “the environmental ethic of our time” (26). She demonstrates that her novel reading of the land ethic is exegetically accurate, consistent with current science, and pertinent to debates in the philosophy of ecology, environmental ethics, and conservation policy. Additionally, the book is highly accessible, engaging, and relatively concise. Overall, The Land is Our Community is an absolute tour de force.”

Radio
I am very happy to be a monthly guest on “KGVO Talk Back”. I have discussed a large variety of issues on there, including veganism, sex work, free speech, originalism, racism, the death penalty, euthanasia, and the value of the environment. My goal is to model an example of civil, reasoned, and engaging conversations about some of the most controversial issues of our times. I am immensely grateful to Jon King and Peter Christian for welcoming a philosopher on their show, and giving me a chance to “reach across the isle”.
