The main aim of this paper is to make some remarks about how Paul W. Taylor’s renowned ethics of respect for nature might support a desirable integration between human ethics and environmental ethics. I claim that its belief-system, its attitude of respect, and its system of rules and standards cannot only be compatible with, but complementary to human-centered ethics. I argue that developing Taylor’s concepts and arguments could be decisive in helping to tackle both the wide perception of anti-humanism that surround the contemporary deep environmental concern and the different crises related to the Western way of life and thinking.
