A Routledge Title: Ethics, Place And Environment
A journal specializing in the publication of research and scholarship on all aspects of human geographical and environmental ethics.
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/carfax/1366879x.html

Extractions: Aims and Scope: Ethics, Place and Environment is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing research, scholarship and debate on all aspects of geographical and environmental ethics. The journal's title provides an indication of its focus on all aspects of geographical and environmental ethics. The use of the word 'place' highlights geographers' concerns with the interaction between peoples and environments that creates particular places. 'Environment' is used in a very broad sense to emphasise not only physical and biological environments, but also social and cultural environments. Geographers working on ethical issues have been concerned with a wide range of subjects, from animal rights, to questions of justice in urban society, development ethics, cartography, and the construction of cultural values.

Extractions: www.igc.org/gadfly Section Introductions from Environmental Ethics: Approaches and Issues An Unpublished Textbook Anthology Portions of these excerpts date back to my first UC-Santa Barbara class, in the Spring of 1980. Some of that material later found its way into "Nature as a Moral Resource," published in Environmental Ethics, in the Summer of 1984. That manuscript, of course, was "set in stone" sometime in 1983. Thereafter, these section introductions continued to evolve. Excluded from these pieces are the extended references to the papers included in the sections of the anthology. What remains may be of general interest to the teacher of Environmental Ethics. CONTENTS: A Note from the Editor Ecology for Ethicists Responsibility for the Environment A New Ethic? ... Holism and Contextualism Environmental Ethics, a hybrid of both ancient and recent insights, is a discipline in the making. In part, this is so because it is a discipline whose time has come, and come urgently. Because environmental ethics is a new field, and because, as editor, I wish to adapt an honorable tradition in philosophical education, I intend that this book ask more questions than it answers. It is designed to evoke and challenge, and not to preach. Statements of position, however dogmatic they may appear, are fair game for skeptical analysis and criticism. I sincerely believe that the only environmental ethic worth having is your

Extractions: to the Gadfly's ever-evolving environmental ethics course. You have had enough! Letters to Congress won't work. Despite your letters, and thousands more, it appears that they will nonetheless issue permits for still more oil platforms off the California coast. So you and your friends have organized a demonstration in Washington in front of the Rayburn House Office building, while inside a final Congressional review of the issue is being conducted by the House Interior Committee. At that moment, testimony is being offered in support of the platforms by lobbyists for the oil companies. Suddenly, a Sergeant-at Arms from the committee room walks out the front door and beckons to you. He tells you that the Committee Chairman has asked him to select a random demonstrator and to invite him inside so that the Committee might hear the protesters' point of view. By sheer chance you have been selected. Shortly thereafter you are seated in the committee room. The Chairman asks: "Why shouldn't we continue to extract oil from offshore California? You reply that to do so would be morally atrocious. You are then asked: "Very well, in what sense do you believe it morally atrocious?" And, "Will you please defend your position that is, will you give the Committee reasons why it should agree with you?"
Online Ethics Center: Rachel Carson And Silent Spring
Carson's warning about the dangers of pesticides and essays on her environmental ethics.

Extractions: onlineethics.org The Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science Rachel Carson, 1951. Photograph by Shirley Briggs. Used by permission of the Shirley Briggs Photographs and Papers in the Lear/Carson Collection at Connecticut College Library. During the seventeen years she worked in the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Rachel Carson learned about the problems of pesticides. Undaunted by the chemical companies' hostility and by the public's high enthusiasm for pesticides, she wrote a book called Silent Spring , which caused a major shift in public consciousness about the environment. This essay by Philip Cafaro discusses several respects in which Rachel Carson's life and work might point the way forward for environmental ethics. First, Carson's frequent criticisms of human attempts to dominate nature suggest important parallels with contemporary ecofeminism. Second, Carson's philosophy of "reverence for life" seems to support the whole spectrum of environmental activism.

This is the unifying element of the cosmos and creates the basis for a profound reciprocity between humans and the natural world. Material force as the substance of life is the basis for the continuing process of change and transformation in the universe. The term sheng-sheng, With the Confucian emphasis on the continuity of the family there is a strong ethic of indebtedness to past generations and obligations to descendants. Within this moral framework there is the potential for evoking a sense of self-restraint and communal responsibility toward the environmental well-being of future generations. In other words, the Confucian emphasis on lineage (ensuring continuity from the ancestors to the heirs) may be raised to another ethical perspective, namely, intergenerational obligations toward maintaining a healthy environment. On this basis it could be argued that unlimited development or unrestrained consumption should be curtailed.

Extractions: Published in: The Broken Circle: Ecology, Economics, Ethics . F. Herbert Bormann and Stephen R. Kellert, Eds. Yale University Press, New Haven 1991. ISBN 0-300-04976-5 Environmental ethics stretches classical ethics to a breaking point. All ethics seeks an appropriate respect for life. But we do not just need a humanist ethic applied to the environment, analogously to the ways we have needed one for business, law, medicine, technology, international development, or nuclear disarmament. Respect for life demands an ethic concerned about human welfare, like the others and now concerning the environment. But environmental ethics in a deeper sense stands on a frontier, as radically theoretical as it is applied. Alone, it asks whether there can be nonhuman objects of duty. Neither theory nor practice elsewhere needs values outside of human subjects, but environmental ethics must be more biologically objectivenonanthropocentric. It challenges the separation of science and ethics, trying to reform a science that finds nature value free and an ethics that assumes that only humans count morally. Environmental ethics seeks to escape relativism in ethics, to discover a way past culturally based ethics. However much our world views, ethics included, are embedded in our cultural heritages, and thereby theory-laden and value-laden, all of us know that a natural world exists apart from human cultures. Humans interact with nature. Environmental ethics is the only ethics that breaks out of culture. It has to evaluate nature, both the nature that mixes with culture and wild nature, and to judge duty thereby. After environmental ethics, you will no longer be the humanist you once were.

Global Environmental Ethics: A Valuable Earth

http://www.ecospherics.net/pages/Global.htm

Extractions: Nature and Culture The Earth is remarkable, and valuable, for both the nature and the culture that occur on it. Evolutionary history has been going on for billions of years, while cultural history is only about a hundred thousand years old. But certainly from here onward, culture increasingly determines what natural history shall continue. The next millennium is, some say, the epoch of the end of nature. But another hope is that we can launch a millennium of culture in harmony with nature. Humans evolved out of nature; our biochemistries are natural and we draw our life support from the hydrological cycles and photosynthesis; we too have genes and inborn traits; we are subject to natural laws. But human life is radically different from that in wild, spontaneous nature. Unlike coyotes or bats, humans are not just what they are by nature; we come into the world by nature quite unfinished and become what we become by culture. Humans deliberately rebuild the wild environment and make rural and urban environments. Information in nature travels intergenerationally on genes; information in culture travels neurally as persons are educated into transmissible cultures. In nature, the coping skills are coded on chromosomes. In culture, the skills are coded in craftsman's traditions, religious rituals, or technology manuals. Information acquired during an organism's lifetime is not transmitted genetically; the essence of culture is acquired information transmitted to the next generation. This information transfer is several orders of magnitude faster and overleaps genetic lines. Children are educated by taking classes from dozens of teachers, by reading hundreds of books, using libraries with tens of thousands of books, written by authors to whom they are genetically unrelated, who may have been dead for centuries.
