| Résumé : |
Le site éditeur indique : What is the ethical significance of the environment? How shall we dwell on, and with, the earth? And what, if anything, do we owe to future generations? “Time and the Land” pursues these questions through each of the four most prominent theories of ethics in the western philosophical tradition: Utilitarianism, Distributive Justice, Kantian Deontology, and Virtue Ethics. Myers concludes that no single theory by itself can accomplish this task. A synthesis of ethics is required: but Virtue must lead the way. Myers concludes that the aim for a worthwhile human life must include the aim to create and sustain the environmental conditions in which the worthwhile human life is possible and supported. |
