9 I should like to note my delight in and general agreement with remarks made by Mary Midgley in her review of Passmore, John, Man's Responsibility for Nature, in Philosophy, 50, No. 191 (January 1975), pp. 106–113Google Scholar. She expresses attitudes very similar to those underlying my article. There is an ecological conscience there, and I salute it.
