 world, and in related environmental issues, such as sustainability. Despite this, </span><span lang="EN-IE" class="" style="font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; border:1pt windowtext; padding:0cm">environmental ethicists and philosophers tend
 to dismiss the relevance of ancient philosophy to contemporary environmental debates and issues. Environmental philosophers have even claimed that ancient Greek and Roman philosophy – at least in its canonical forms – is part of the problem in environmental
 terms that has contributed significantly to the subsequent prevalence of anthropocentrism in western philosophy and culture. Plato, who has had a profound influence on the western philosophical tradition, is sometimes seen as epitomising this anthropocentrism
 because of his emphasis on dualism, championing of reason, and his apparent anti–female and anti–body stance Consequently, it is thought that he diminished the importance of the natural or ‘sensible’ world primarily because of his theory of Forms which postulates
 the existence of an ideal, immaterial world beyond the world of the senses and accords a greater value to the former (cf. Mahoney 1997: 45-54). Aristotle’s philosophy has also been characterised as anthropocentric, based on his statement that animals and plants
 are ‘for the sake of’ humans in the <i class="">Politics</i>. Some consider the way he separates human beings as rational from other living things as perceptive and nutritive to have been influential. Stoic philosophers are often seen as drawing on Aristotle
 in support of their own anthropocentric philosophical positions.  </span><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="color:rgb(36,36,36)"></span></div>

 ancient philosophy and its relevance to environmental concerns. <i class="">The Greeks and the Environment</i>, edited by Laura Westra and Thomas M. Robinson, suggested new ways of relating ancient Greek philosophy to ecology and environmentalism. More recently,
 Melissa Lane’s <i class="">Eco-Republic: What the Ancients can Teach Us about Ethics, Virtue, and Sustainable Living</i> has re-assessed Plato’s <i class="">Republic</i> as a useful and provocative work for thinking through environmental and related issues,
 including climate change, and seeks to refashion the political imagination toward a more environmentally sustainable way of living, while Mark Usher’s <i class="">Plato’s Pigs and Other Ruminations: Ancient Guides to Living with Nature</i> suggests that we
 can find in the lives and thought of ancient philosophers a close engagement with nature and an understanding of human knowledge and experience that is based on whole systems and, in relation to this, values and practices that are conducive to sustainable
 living. With regard to Aristotle, on-going research on his zoological writings continues to reveal his focus on the capacities of organisms, living in their natural environments, including much cognitive sophistication (most recently: <i class="">The Cambridge
