Ethics for the environment and the science of the environment

Teresa Kwiatkowska

Resumen


Some philosophers have viewed environmental science as an essential resource for the development for the normative standpoints concerning humanity’s relationship with nature. The paper analyses some attempts to infer ethical conclusions from the ecological science, and attempts to show serious obstacles when moral inferences are derive from ecological theories.

 

Key words: Evolution, environmental ethics, ecology, intrinsic value, ecosystem, biodiversity, nature, normative foundation, naturalistic fallacy.

The authors present three possible scenarios of the importance of biodiversity in the ecosystem context. In a first one where there is high ecological redundancy, loss of biodiversity is of least significance. The other two manifest the contribution of every (or some keystone) species to ecosystem function. Which of these models is closest to reality? The simple answer is that we have almost no idea (p. 944).
