Abstract
Environmental Ethics: The Virtuous Way
Highlights
There are three major ethics theories that attempt to specify and justify our moral behavior: utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics [1]
Utilitarianism has its origin in Epicureanism
Utilitarianism argues that no moral act or rule is intrinsically right or wrong
Summary
Environmental ethics, among other things, is concerned with our attitude toward nature. By nature here I don’t mean anything other than the waters, the trees, non-human animals-the environment. It is, concerned about what Rosalind Hurst house call “the belief that a fairly radical change in the way we engage with nature is imperative.”. I want to propose a virtue-oriented approach to environmental. My aim is to begin a discussion about the potential advantages of adopting a virtue-based approach to our outlook toward the environment
