McCormick, Peter
Eco-Ethics and Contemporary Philosophical Reflection

The Technological Conjuncture and Modern Rationality.

The author sets out the major lines of the eco-ethical project in comparison and contrast with outstanding work in contemporary philosophical reflection. He elucidates eco-ethics sympathetically but critically under four headings - moral and ethical realisms, correspondence and coherence accounts of truth, rationalities and aesthetics, interpretation theories and relativisms. The basic idea of an eco-ethics is that the now global technological transformation of the human milieu requires radical ethical innovation. 183 Seiten, broschiert (Universitätsverlag Winter 2008)
