Recent works on the historical sources of the environmental movement neglect environmental philosophy. They therefore fail to distinguish between two different currents of thought: ruralism—the romantic glorification of rural life; and environmentalism—a philosophy which is based on scientific information, anti-speciesism and respect for all organisms. These works, therefore, mistakenly identify “political ecology” with right-wing ideologies.
