This course investigates the ethics of human-environment relations. Why should we be concerned about nature? Are we distinct from our environment? Do we have an obligation to maintain our environment in a particular way? What kinds of duties do we have towards animals and other creatures? These and other questions will be addressed throughout this course as we consider how we best ought to live in a world that surrounds us, precedes us, and will outlast us.
