Former Graduate Summer Fellow Joshua Duclos Authors Book on Morality of Wilderness Preservation

Joshua Duclos, a former Graduate Summer Fellow at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, authored a new book titled Wilderness, Morality, and Value.

In the book, Duclos explores the morality of wilderness preservation given the inherent suffering of wildlife, and argues that “the technological and ethical reality of the Anthropocene warrants a fundamental reassessment of the value of wilderness.”

The book, published by Rowman & Littlefield, is an extension of the research Duclos began as a Pardee Center Graduate Summer Fellow in 2016. He holds a PhD in philosophy from Boston University, where his dissertation focused on the meaning and value of wilderness in environmental ethics.
