Discussion: Aldo Leopold's "The Land Ethic"

---

1. State one conclusion about land management practices that Leopold reaches in the essay. Give it an explicitly normative formulation:
   "We ought to ___________________________________."

2. Now construct a deductively valid argument to this conclusion, being sure to:
   1. explicitly formulate one (or more) normative ("guiding") premise(s) at work in it, and
   2. diagram the argument, Russow-style.

3. Finally, for each normative premise in your reconstructed argument, state whether the premise represents an anthropocentric, sentientist, biocentric individualist, pure holist, or pluralistic holist stance (and why).
