Expanded Course Description
| This course raises and examines philosophical questions of justice and society from an environmental angle, specifically focused on the discourses of ecojustice and climate ethics. As diverse people from particular social, historical, and geographical contexts, how should we face the warming of our home planet and widespread environmental destruction that imperils both human and nonhuman lives? What might a just society look like, and how can we put our vision of a better world into action? Since this is a course in philosophy, we will primarily be interested in conceptual critique and the generation of visions of a good world to guide our lives together. We will begin with an examination of how justice is defined, then tour some major debates in the philosophical literature on justice and environment, including: environmental intersections with gender, race, class, and geographical location; geoengineering as a means to achieving a just future; and responsibility beyond human society. |
