ENVA - 120. Environmental Ethics

3 credit(s)
This humanities-based course may draw upon material from philosophy, the sciences, literature, religious studies, history and the various arts to encourage broad reflection about our obligations to the environment. One aim is to introduce students to the basic ethical views (utilitarian, rights theory, socialist accounts) that inform environmental decision making. Another aim is to examine more recent work specific to the environment, such as essays on “deep ecology,” “the land ethic,” “environmental racism,” and “ecofeminism.”
