Newsletter on Philosophy and Computers. environmental ethics. http//www.cep.unt.edu/.Center for Environmental Philosophy The University of North Texas.

Extractions: http://snaefell.tamu.edu/~gary The homepage for the Center for Environmental Philosophy (CEP) at the University of North Texas (UNT) is designed for use by students, teachers, and scholars in academic philosophy as well as environmental activists with more philosophical interests. Only since the 1970's has environmental philosophy emerged as a subdiscipline of academic philosophy. Much early work in the field focused on questions about the nature and justification of non-anthropocentric views in ethics, and questions about the adequacy of anthropocentric (and, generally, individualist) theories for grounding sound environmental policy. The CEP page includes a brief historical overview of the field, including citations to important articles and books from various phases of its development and the various journals and organizations which emerged as it developed. The most useful and exciting feature of this web site is the extensive bibliography of academic publications in environmental philosophy which it makes available along with a lightning fast search engine. The bibliography contains the full text of two extensive-but selective and annotated- bibliographies of the field written by Eric Katz, the full text of bibliographic entries from the often highly annotated newsletter of the

http://www.mdcc.edu/wolfson/departments/environethics/earthlit.html

Extractions: What is Earth Literacy? A WORKADAY MOVEMENT - Earth Literacy is an environmental movement in which life on Earth is seen to be at a "turning point." The "turning point" is a crisis in our perception of reality. To respond to that crisis, we are beginning to rethink the way we live - the way we live our workaday lives. The shift to "Earth literate" lives will require a radical change in perception - as radical as the change our ancestors made from a flat Earth-centered unchanging universe reality. To live at such moment of change is a gift and an honor. AN EDUCATIONAL PROJECT - Earth Literacy is an educational project that grew out of a "communion" agreement in which individuals from three farm-based learning centers, two colleges and a university planned a series of meetings during which they met to build relationships that would enrich the Earth in the bioregions where they lived. They chose the term "communion" because it described the binding-force of the universe in Thomas Berry's new cosmology. A FREEDOM CURRICULUM - Earth Literacy is a budding curriculum aimed at freedom. Albert Einstein said that we are prisoners of a delusion. That was his explanation for why we endanger our species and our planet. When we entered the modern scientific age everything changed. All our reality changed, except for the way we think about reality. Our old way of thinking about reality is our prison. We think we are separate. We do not calculate nature's losses as our losses. We imagine we are in control of the natural world. We try to manipulate and fix nature like we would a machine. That is why Earth's capacity to sustain and regenerate life is diminishing. For humans to continue on Earth, Einstein said we will have to master a new manner of thinking. If we don't, humankind will drift into "ultimate catastrophe." Earth Literacy's budding curriculum is about awakening from our delusion.

Extractions: The FEISEAP Engineering and Environment Committee will produce draft and final policies in areas of mutual concern, and they will be posted here for information and for comment. A number of Policies have already been produced by the WFEO Committee on Engineering and the Environment.(CEE) An important policy document was that agreed by the CEE in 1991, and submitted to the General Assembly at their meeting in Arusha, Tanzania. The endorsed document, known as the Arusha Declaration , was submitted to the UNCED Rio Conference. The WFEO Policy on the Environment, expressed through its Code of Environmental Ethics , is currently being reviewed. Comments invited by WFEO are re-posted here for information and for comment. Professional ethics was discussed at the WFEO meetings in Budapest in October,1995. There are two ethical codes adopted by the WFEO: one is the Code of Environmental Ethics for Engineers drawn up by the Committee for Engineering and Environment (CEE) and adopted by the General Assembly in 1987: the other is the Model Code of Ethics , a more general document, approved by the WFEO General Assembly in 1993. The possibility of combining these two codes into one has been considered, and work is progressing on this. However, in the meantime it was agreed, as part of the WFEO Action Plan , that endeavours should continue to be made to have as many International and National Members as possible accede to the existing Codes, while, at the same time, the CEE should work on updating them. .

http://www.gre.ac.uk/~bj61/talessi/tlr1.html

Extractions: The development of modern environmentalism has been accompanied by the emergence of a new field within the discipline of philosophy: environmental ethics. Working within this field, philosophers and others seek to explore the nature of the moral relationships that might be said to exist between humans and non-humans, asking questions such as: what kinds of ethical obligation do humans have towards non-humans? what is the precise nature of, and basis for, these obligations? Responses to these questions reveal that the field of environmental ethics encompasses a highly diverse range of approaches, which differ greatly in their potential implications for environmental decision making (individual, corporate, governmental). The study of environmental ethics, therefore, provides students with an opportunity for developing more informed judgements about their own personal practice, and about the environmental prescriptions, decisions and practice of others.
On Environmental Ethics

http://members.aol.com/wutsamada2/ethics/essays/mccracken.htm

Extractions: At the current rate, were headed for and environmental disaster many say, but how much truth does that statement hold. Have humans really destroyed, pillaged, and polluted enough to cause a serious, wide scale, disaster? If not, then can we continue on without changing, and not learn from our mistakes? If so, then can we do anything today that will bring about a tomorrow available to us? All of these questions hold great pertinence for our current situation. Humans dont exactly hold the best track record for environmental protection and preservation. Throughout time we have exploited nature and its creatures for our own benefit. We have made technological advances that threaten and disrupt the environment with total disregard for that fact. We took slipshod short cuts that are now catching up to us today, and we can think of no available alternatives that will remedy the problem quickly and usefully. Michael Crichton writes, What we call nature is a complex system of far greater subtlety than we are willing to accept. We make a simplified view of nature and then botch it all up. You have to understand what you dont understand. How many times must the point be made? How many times must we see the evidence? We build the Aswan Dam and claim it is going to revitalize the country. Instead, it destroys the fertile Nile Delta, produces parasitic infestation, and wrecks the Egyptian economy (Jurassic Park 91).

Extractions: Given the need to compensate for power inequalities in society, when conflicts arise between people or between humans and nature, the least powerful should be given consideration ahead of the most powerful. This should apply not only to the relationships between people but also between humans and other species. (see statements of the intrinsic value of nature In a world where there are resource scarcities (eg. water and oil) and excessive environmental damage due to the overuse of some resources, access to the means-of-not-needing-a-resource is often more important than access to or the right to exploit the physical resource itself. In a world where the poor substantially outnumber the rich and where the dynamics of the economy are more powerful than the statics, non-exploitative investment by the rich to help create sustainable and ample livelihoods for the poor is probably more critical than marginal redistribution of income. In a world enmeshed in multiple crises active engagement in problem solving is probably more critical than charitable sharing. And in a world where some people are massively wealthy while others are struggling, measures to improve the livelihood of the well off are definitely of lower priority than measures to improve the welfare of the least well off.

http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Envi/EnviWeir.htm

Extractions: j.weir@morehead-st.edu ABSTRACT: Cases have been widely used in medical ethics and law. In both fields, numerous books and articles about cases have appeared, including book-length catalogs of cases. I argue that pluralistic casuistry provides an adequate approach to environmental ethics. It retains the strengths while avoiding the weaknesses of the other approaches. Importantly, it resolves some broader theoretical issues and provides a clear, explicit methodology for education and praxis. Cases have been widely used in medical ethics and law. In both fields, numerous books and articles about cases have appeared, including book-length catalogs of cases. What I propose to do in this paper is to discuss whether environmental ethics should be case-based as in law and medicine. The relationship of cases to theory has received intense scholarly debate. At issue is which takes priority. A similar situation exists in the sciences, as well as in most other disciplines. There are the so-called "pure" or "research" scientists, and also the "applied" or "practical" scientist. Field biologists, conservation biologists, restoration ecologists, landscape engineers, sylvantologists, and so on, are applied scientists. Which takes priority: theory or application? What I want to discuss is whether environmental ethics, like medicine and law, would benefit from case-based methodology.
20th WCP: The Dialectical Links Between Environmental Ethics And Sciences
The Dialectical Links Between environmental ethics and Sciences. To achieve a radicaltransformation in environmental ethics, we need a new vision of nature.
http://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Envi/EnviRozz.htm

Extractions: rmr96002@uconnvm.uconn.edu ABSTRACT: Ecologists formulate their scientific theories influenced by ethical values, and in turn, environmental ethicists value nature based on scientific theories. Darwinian evolutionary theory provides clear examples of these complex links, illustrating how these reciprocal relationships do not constitute a closed system, but are undetermined and open to the influences of two broader worlds: the sociocultural and the natural environment. On the one hand, the Darwinian conception of a common evolutionary origin and ecological connectedness has promoted a respect for all forms of life. On the other hand, the metaphors of struggle for existence and natural selection appear as problematic because they foist onto nature the Hobbesian model of a liberal state, a Malthusian model of the economy, and the productive practice of artificial selection, all of which reaffirm modern individualism and the profit motive that are at the roots of our current environmental crisis. These metaphors were included in the original definitions of ecology and environmental ethics by Haeckel and Leopold respectively, and are still pervasive among both ecologists and ethicists. To suppose that these Darwinian notions, derived from a modern-liberal worldview, are a fact of nature constitutes a misleading interpretation. Such supposition represents a serious impediment to our aim of transforming our relationship with the natural world in order to overcome the environmental crisis. To achieve a radical transformation in environmental ethics, we need a new vision of nature.

The World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) Code of Environmental Ethics for Engineers Founded in 1968, the WFEO is a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) with 80 National members and 9 International members. The Code of Environmental Ethics for Engineers, proposed in 1985 and adopted by the WFEO General Assembly in 1987, encourages engineers to be committed to "environmentally sound and sustainable development." The WFEO Model Code of Ethics In 1999 the WFEO revised its draft Model Code of Ethics, first approved in 1993, to incorporate the sustainable development concepts found in the WFEO Code of Environmental Ethics for Engineers . The code defines sustainable development as "the challenge of meeting current human needs for natural resources, industrial products, energy, food, transportation, shelter, and effective waste management while conserving and enhancing the Earth's environmental quality and the natural resources base essential for the human needs of future generations."
