Should Trees Have Standing? by Christopher D Stone
Originally published in 1972, "Should Trees Have Standing? Toward Legal Rights For Natural Objects" immediately became a rallying point of the U.S. environmental movement and has since become a classic worldwide. In this influential work, Professor Stone argues that special guardians be empowered to speak for the 'voiceless' elements in nature, in effect, to give legal standing in the court of law to endangered species and threatened forests.
It is impossible to over-emphasize the significance of this graceful and elegant essay.. The essay's re-issue demonstrates Stone's uncanny ability to anticipate crucial philosophical debates.
