An Analysis of Intellectual Strands in Environmental Ethics
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Environmental ethics, both as an academic discipline and applied philosophy, is influential in all major streams in the current scenario. The existence of environmental ethics emerges as a discipline mainly because of the questioning of accepted practices on development. Hence, in the broader framework, environmental ethics can be viewed as a search for alternative methods on how we should interact with one another and with nature in the background of alarming environmental problems. These environmental problems are the result of lack of sustainable and long standing development. The main focus of environmental ethics is on the moral foundation of environmental responsibility to our environment. It is also about ascribing values to the non-human world.This paper attempts to analyse various strands in Environmental Ethics from a philosophical perspective, thereby rereading the existing literature and look how far it has been integral in defining the relationship between nature, non-humans and human beings in the context of sustainable development.
