PH 200 - Environmental Ethics

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

At no time in history has humankind had such an impact on the Earth’s environment. The growing population coupled with the globalization of the marketplace has placed enormous strains on the Earth’s natural resources and threatened the wellbeing and existence of numerous plants and, most notably, human and non-human animals. The purpose of this course is to expose the students to the most urgent environmental concerns and then to evaluate these issues from an ethical perspective. Students will come away from the course not only with a knowledge of the key environmental issues but with a better understanding of the moral relevance of the debate to their lives, the lives of people world-wide, the lives of people in the future, and even the lives of non-human animals and plants.
