An Ecological Approach to Environmental Ethics
|
|
J. Mitchell O'Toole

|
This paper serves as an introduction to the Forum on Environmental Ethics. The Forum is built around contributions to the Environmental Ethics Symposium within the 10th Pacific Science Inter-Congress, held
in Guam, USA 1–6 June 2001. The contributions to the Symposium differed in commitment and intent and this diversity has been enhanced by the addition of several additional papers to this Forum. The
paper suggests a view of action as resulting from the interaction between often unexamined values, goes on to comment on the role of values in science classrooms, and applies both to a general treatment
of Environmental Ethics. The paper then positions the remaining contributions to the Forum and concludes with a substantial bibliography which should prove useful to any readers wishing to dip deeper into
Environmental Ethics.
