Week 2: Class Discussion: Value and Duty
In the reading for this week, Onora
O'Neill suggests, "Most of us agree that we should value the environment,
or at least some bits of the environment; fewer of us agree why we should do
so. Leaving aside answers that appeal to sheer prudence or mere preference and
looking at some of the many answers under the heading of 'environmental ethics'
leaves a great deal obscure" (Chapter 4: "Environmental Value,
Anthropocentrism, and Speciesism").
How can we define environmental
ethics in the contemporary moment? What are the factors involved in creating
an ethical scaffold for understanding the natural world and its resources? What
is the role of duty and obligation?
