Description
Should we rethink our policies about threats (such as toxic wastes and pollution, nuclear weapons, fossil fuels) to avoid further environmental degradation? The most basic principles in our accepted systems of values challenge us to discover how to behave ethically towards the environment. After introducing a theoretical framework, this module deals with such controversial issues as the rights and duties of future generations, the rights of objects and animals, social justice, and some contemporary dilemmas (consumption, poverty, genetically modified organisms, energy among others).
