PHIL 162 - Environmental and Animal Welfare Ethics
This course is an introduction to environmental and animal welfare ethics as a branch of ethics that attempts to expand the human range of moral concern to the natural world and non-human animals. The course examines how different philosophers have conceived of value in the natural world, and the implications of that value for the relationship of humans to their environment. We evaluate arguments both for and against the expansion of the human range of moral concern, and ask whether, in the context of current environmental problems, such philosophical arguments can provide humans with guidance on addressing these problems.
