The Ethical Approach To the Environment and ecological feminism

<p>The main concern of this work is locating and exploring a sufficiently deep</p><p>foundation for ecocentric ethics. The environmental problems during the last</p><p>hundred years have become one of the most urgent global issues the humankind has</p><p>to face prompting a plethora of proposals practical as well as theoretical from</p><p>commentators of various schools and backgrounds such as eco-scientists ecofeminists</p><p>environmental philosophers and theologians. A considerable part of the</p><p>difficulties involved into finding ways to address these problems is the fact that the</p><p>ethical system of the Western world one of the largest contributors to the ecological</p><p>crisis is a moral philosophy and set of values developed for humans by humans.</p><p>Even though the recent significant shift in that area allowed to address economic</p><p>gender and racial inequalities ethical thought has little experience in including and</p><p>accounting for the relationships with the un-human species. The scale of the scope</p><p>of the ethical questions rapidly grows from the relatively spatially isolated</p><p>homeland problems to the problem of global coexistence and survival.</p>
