Environmental EthicsPrentice Hall, 2001 - 427 עמודים This book introduces readers to important ethical issues that arise in the realm of environmental ethics. It addresses two common problems that are faced: how does one make sense of the different theoretical positions, and how does one integrate theory into action? An "argument-based" style and tone challenges readers to think about some of the various implications that the acceptance of ethical issues will entail. Chapter topics include Four Traditional Ethical Theories, Worldview Arguments for Environmentalism, A Linking Principle to Applied Environmental Ethics, The Moral Basis for Environmentalism, and Applied Environmental Ethics. For anyone interested in the formal study of environmental, business, medical, or professional ethics. |
