PHIL 280 - ENVIRONMENTAL PHILOSOPHY

Hours: 5
Environmental Philosophy is perhaps the most exciting new area of applied philosophy. Certainly issues in environmental ethics are becoming ever-more pressing as contemporary society confronts its environmental problems. This course will investigate philosophical views on the value of nature, the moral status of animals, our responsibilities to preserve species and natural objects (like trees), and our obligations to future generations. Among other topics that may be discussed include population explosion, world hunger, pollution, economics and the environment, and energy and global justice. Course Website.
Notes: Alt. Yrs. PHIL 280 meets the Humanities requirement for Environmental Studies minors.
