Rozzi, Ricardo.
Linking Ecology and Ethics for a Changing World : Values, Philosophy, and Action edited by Ricardo Rozzi, S.T.A. Pickett, Clare Palmer, Juan J. Armesto, J. Baird Callicott. - Dordrecht, Netherlands Springer International Publishing 2013 - 1 recurso en línea (XXXVIII, 377 p.) 38 ilustraciones, 28 ilustraciones en color - Ecology and Ethics 1 .
I. Integrating philosophy and ecology: Biocultural interfaces -- II. Ecological worldviews: aesthetic, metaphors, and conservation -- III. Environmental Philosophy: ethics, epistemology, justice -- IV. Ecosystems: science, values, and action -- Index.
Ecological sciences have informed environmental ethics from its inception as a scholarly pursuit in the 1970sâ€much so that we now have ecological ethics, Deep Ecology, and ecofeminism. Throughout the 20th century, however, most ecologists remained enthralled by the myth that science is value-free. Closer study of science by philosophers reveals that metaphors are inescapable and cognitively indispensable to science, but that metaphors are value-laden. As we confront the enormous challenges of the 21st century†prospect of a 6th mass extinction, acidifying oceans, rising sea level, and global warmingâ€logists can no longer remain aloof from public discourse about what actions to take to address these problems. And that means that 21st century ecologists understand that right action is guided by ethics. However, integration of ethical ideas into academic curricula and ecologistsâ€search agendas is still meager. Aldo Leopold, 1947 President of the Ecological Society of America, keenly understood that latent in ecological sciences is an organizing worldview, with implications for reordering societal values and expanding ethics to embrace “soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land.â€ing beyond Leopoldâ€and ethic, contemporary environmental ethics includes eco-social justice and the realization that as important as biodiversity is cultural diversity, inter-cultural, inter-institutional, and international collaboration requiring a novel approach known as biocultural conservation. Right action in confronting the challenges of the 21st century requires science and ethics to be seamlessly integrated. Contemporary science proposes the concept of the inclusive ecosystem that recognizes humans as components. In this book, this “inclusive conviction is endorsed, fortunately, by over forty contributors sharing their accounts, of living well in place, combining nature and culture, residing on landscapes: biocultural ethicsâ€olmes Rolston, III).
