Abstract: | Summary Garrett Hardin has written extensively about the biological, ecological and social impacts of various approaches to allocating
natural resources. His work has been based largely upon the theory of the tragedy of the commons, population genetics and
the application of biological principles to analogous social processes. He points out that policies that are morally appealing,
because of their short-term benefits, may lead to disaster in the years ahead. His recommendations have stimulated considerable
controversy and have been the object of moral criticism. They should not, however, be dismissed without careful consideration.
Ralph H. Lutts is director of a natural history museum and an environmental education center. He is also adjunct assistant
professor of environmental studies in the School of Natural Science of Hampshire College, Amherst, Massachusetts. His research
interests are in environmental ethics and history. |
