Course Description
In this course, we will explore how to identify, articulate and think critically about the ethical dimensions of environmental challenges. We will learn about general theories in environmental ethics, and also about how philosophical skills and concepts might be applied to specific environmental issues, such as global climate change. Potential topics include: the value of the natural environment to humans; the value of nonhuman animals, plants, and ecosystems; the structure of environmental problems; the relevance of conceptions of justice to solutions. The course focuses partly on the contributions of standard philosophical theories to environmental debates, and partly on the challenges that environmental issues raise to common theoretical approaches.
