PHIL 116 - Environmental Ethics

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PHIL - Philosophy

Description:

This course examines several facets of the ethical demands that the environment, particularly now in the 21st century, places on us. Do we have a right to use non renewable sources of energy when renewable are available? As regards our relation to the environment, what are our responsibilities to future generations? Can an individual be faulted for misuse of resources, or are these uses determined only and sufficiently by market forces? Several key texts in environmental ethics will be examined to help address these questions.
