| Summary: | Stewardship is a frequently used metaphor in the debate on ecological questions. Especially in the Anglo-Saxon world, this metaphor is often used to describe man's moral responsibility for the earth.

In line with the theoretical insights of Lakoff, Johnson and Musolff, the "success" of this metaphor appears to depend not primarily on its theoretical underpinnings but on the specific cultural setting in which it is used. |
