Some Political Problems for Rewilding Nature, John Hintz Ethics, Place & Environment, Volume 10, Issue 2 June 2007 , pages 177 - 216 Recent studies in conservation biology have provided the wilderness preservation movement with a spark. Wilderness, we are told, can no longer be seen as a scenic playground for weary humans - it is, rather, an ecological necessity for the conservation of biodiversity. This paper traces the science and political ideologies that inspire and inform this reinvigorated cadre of environmentalists. Through empirical investigations of one prominent conservation group and one conservation campaign, the author finds that this environmentalism offers simplistic and purportedly self-evident solutions to the complex problems of biodiversity and wilderness conservation.

 Glenn Parsons, “The Aesthetics of Nature,” Philosophy Compass 2 (2007) Published article online: 23 Mar 2007 The aesthetics of nature is a growing sub-field of contemporary aesthetics. In this article, I outline the view called ‘Scientific cognitivism’, which has been central in recent discussions of nature aesthetics. In assessing two important arguments for this view, I outline some recent thinking about key issues for the aesthetics of nature, including the relationship between nature and art and the relevance of ethical considerations to the aesthetic appreciation of nature.

Paradoxes and Puzzles: Appreciating Gardens and Urban Nature

  by Stephanie Ross VOLUME 4 (2006) Contemporary Aesthetics: http://www.contempaesthetics.org/newvolume/pages/article.php?articleID=400 To explore our appreciation of gardens and urban nature, I propose a recursive definition of original or wild nature together with guidelines for discerning degrees of naturalness. Arguing (contra Robert Elliott) that nature can be restored as well as degraded, I characterize four varieties of urban nature – interrupted, altered, constructed, and virtual. I build on Stan Godlovitch's comments about scale to suggest two modes of appreciation – macroscopic and fine-focused. I close by discussing some particular examples – parks, environmental art, gardens – and drawing some conclusions for the appreciation of vernacular gardens


Agriculture, Aesthetic Appreciation and the Worlds of Nature

  by Pauline von Bonsdorff http://www.contempaesthetics.org/newvolume/pages/article.php?articleID=325

ABSTRACT Agriculture has received relatively little attention in environmental aesthetics, given its importance culturally for the physical sustenance of societies and from an eco-system perspective. In this article I take some steps towards developing a life-world approach to the agricultural landscape, where the intimate and long-term relationship between farmer and land is understood as having the potential for being a norm rather than the opposite of an aesthetic appreciation of landscape. This requires a narrative understanding of landscape, where culture and nature are seen as plural and relative to each other. I claim that the aesthetic competence of the farmer is inseparable from personal interest, which makes appreciation more acute and vivid both in perceiving nuances and in realising the existential drama of landscape. Finally I suggest that practicing agriculture is a genuine way of knowing nature and that some familiarity with agriculture should be included in all environmental education.

Aaron Smuts   Are Video Games Art? Contemporary Aesthetics: Volume 3 2005, http://www.contempaesthetics.org/newvolume/pages/article.php?articleID=299

In this paper I argue that by any major definition of art many modern video gamesshould be considered art. Rather than defining art and defending video games based on a single contentious definition, I offer reasons for thinking that video games can be art according to historical, aesthetic, institutional, representational and expressive theories of art. Overall, I argue that while many video games probably should not be considered art, there are good reasons to think that some video games should be classified as art, and that the debates concerning the artistic status of chess and sports offer some insights into the status of video games.

In this paper I argue that such conflicts are rooted in our conception of forest aesthetics as scenery, and propose that a normative, `ecological aesthetic` based on the writings of Aldo Leopold and others could help resove conflicts between aesthetic and sustainability values. I then offer suggestions on how we might advance an ecological aesthetic in policy and planning programs, on-the-ground management, and research and theory developement in landscape aesthetics.

Public sector projects may underestimate the aesthetic damage they cause, which, if fully considered, could alter the types of projects undertaken or the form those projects take. This article seeks to more persuasively represent the aesthetic damage wrought by a public project by attaching to it a dollar figure. Cost-benefit analysis is often incorporated into the EIS, but for cost-benefit analysis to be valid, all costs and benefits must be fairly represented. To exclude aesthetic value from the analysis on the basis that beauty is intangible or priceless is to assign it a de facto value of zero in cost-benefit calculations. The monetizing of aesthetics is approached by integrating the methods of economic contingent valuation with landscape aesthetic assessment. Economic values and aesthetic values can be reconciled; a demonstration of the integration of methods is provided.

Abstract:

The continuum between nature and artefact is occupied by objects and environments that embody a relationship between natural processes and human activity. In this paper, I explore the relationship that emerges through human interaction with the land in the generation and aesthetic appreciation of industrial farming in contrast to more traditional agricultural practices. I consider the concept of a dialectical relationship and develop it in order to characterise the distinctive synthesising activity of humans and nature which underlies cultivated environments. I argue that a more harmonious relationship, and greater aesthetic value, may be located within traditional farming landscapes. This position is supported and illustrated through a discussion of two agricultural practices in the UK, hedge-laying and stonewalling.

Environmental Values (Routledge Introductions to Environment) (Hardcover)

by John O'neill Author(s) - Alan Holland, Andrew Light, John O'Neill Series: Routledge Introductions to Environment List Price: $135.00 ISBN: 9780415145084 ISBN-10: 0415145082

Publisher: Routledge Publication Date: 07/12/2007 Pages: 224 We live in a world confronted by mounting environmental problems. We read of increasing global deforestation and desertification, loss of species diversity, pollution and global warming. In everyday life people mourn the loss of valued landscapes and urban spaces. Underlying these problems are conflicting priorities and values. Yet dominant approaches to policy making seem ill-equipped to capture the various ways in which the environment matters to us. Environmental Values introduces readers to these issues by presenting, and then challenging, two dominant approaches to environmental decision-making, one from environmental economics, the other from environmental philosophy. The authors present a sustained case for questioning the underlying ethical theories of both of these traditions. They defend a pluralistic alternative rooted in the rich everyday relations of humans to the environments they inhabit, providing a path for integrating human needs with environmental protection through an understanding of the narrative and history of particular places. The book examines the implications of this approach for policy issues such as biodiversity conservation and sustainability.

 

The book is written in a clear and accessible style for an interdisciplinary audience. It will be ideal for student use in environmental courses in geography, economics, philosophy, politics and sociology. It will also be of wider interest to policy makers and the concerned general reader.

 

Environment and Philosophy Author(s) - Vernon Pratt with Emily Brady Jane Howarth,

Series: Routledge Introductions to Environment List Price: $33.95 ISBN: 9780415145114

ISBN-10: 0415145112 Publisher: RoutledgePublication Date: 10/28/1999 Environment and Philosophy provides an accessible introduction to the radical challenges that environmentalism poses to concepts that have become almost second nature in the modern world, including

* the ideas of science and objectivity

* the conventional placement of the human being within the environment

* the individualism of convential Modern thought

Written in an accessible way for those without a background in philosophy, this text examines ways of thinking about ourselves, nature and our relationship with nature. It offers an introduction to the phenomenological perspective on environmental issues, and also to the questions of what natural beauty is for the threat to it to play a role in practical decision-making.

Kaufman, Frederik. "Machines, Sentience, and the Scope of Morality." Environmental Ethics 16(1994):57-70. Environmental philosophers are often concerned to show that non-sentient things, such as plants or ecosystems, have interests and therefore are appropriate objects of moral concern. They deny that mentality is a necessary condition for having interests. Yet they also deny that they are committed to recognizing interests in things like machines. I argue that either machines have interests (and hence moral standing) too or mentality is a necessary condition for inclusion within the purview of morality. I go on to argue that the aspect of mentality necessary for having interests is more complicated than mere sentience. Kaufman is in the department of Philosophy and Religion, Ithaca College, Ithaca, NY. (EE)

Roger Scruton On Hunting (1998)

Roger Scruton, Animal Rights and Wrongs (1996, third edn. 2000): Animals were once regarded as things, placed on earth for our use and enjoyment, to be treated according to our convenience. This is no longer so. All thinking people now recognise the gulf that exists between sentient and non-sentient beings and almost all recognise that we have no God-given right to ignore the suffering that we cause just because the victim belongs to some other species. Moral sentiment has a natural tendency to seek expression in law. The argument of this book should therefore be understood as exploring the moral background to a legal question. Against a background of public concern about issues ranging from BSE to the export of veal calves and from fox hunting to vivisection, this acclaimed book brings a much-needed clarity to complex issues and provides a superb example of how to think about the contemporary moral questions.)

Redclift, Michael, "Sustainable Development: Needs, Values, Rights." Environmental Values Vol.2 No.1(1993):3-20. ABSTRACT: `Sustainable development' is analyzed as a product of the Modernist tradition, in which social criticism and understanding are legitimized against a background of evolutionary theory, scientific specialization, and rapid economic growth. Within this tradition, sustainable development emphasizes the need to live within ecological limits, but allows the retention of an essentially optimistic idea of progress. However, the inherent contradictions in the concept of sustainable development may lead to rejection of the Modernist view in favour of a new vision of the world in which the authority of science and technology is questioned and more emphasis is placed on cultural diversity.

The Moral Status of Animals

By MARTHA C. NUSSBAUM

In 55 BC, the Roman leader Pompey staged a combat between humans and elephants. Surrounded in the arena, the animals perceived that they had no hope of escape. According to Pliny, they then "entreated the crowd, trying to win its compassion with indescribable gestures, bewailing their plight with a sort of lamentation." The audience, moved to pity and anger by their plight, rose to curse Pompey — feeling, wrote Cicero, that the elephants had a relation of commonality (societas) with the human race.

Transhumanism: http://users.aol.com/gburch3/thext.html

Transhumanists advocate continuing the progressive transformation of the human condition, especially (but not exclusively) through technological means. Some guy named Burch writes this material. We know nothing about who he is or how thoughtful he is.


  ExI Project No. 2 - THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS IDEA http://www.extropy.org/

This book is an anthology of leading transhumanists. Each chapter opens with an interview with key figures as we resolve striking issues about the future. The title represents a constructive rebuttal to Francis Fukuyama, who recently pointed to transhumanism as the world?s most dangerous idea. The irony is that transhumanists, as proponents of determined, yet carefully considered, progress are helping to expand our options. A vastly greater danger is the controlling desire to stop progress on the basis of vague fears promoted by a few elite thinkers with a foot in the corridors of power (which includes Fukuyama as well as Leon Kass). At the same time, Fukuyama is exactly right: transhumanist ideas are dangerous; they pose a serious threat to the continued reign of age-old afflictions of humanity, including the deterioration of old age, the severely limited cognitive powers of biological brains, and the disturbed emotions thrown up over the course of our evolutionary emergence. To learn more about this book read on.

 Why a Dialogue between Transhumanism and Faith?

In broadest terms, transhumanism is the view that humans should (or should be permitted to) use technology to remake human nature (Bostrom, 2001, Walker, 2002b). It is believed that through stem cell technology, genetic engineering and nanotechnology the possibility exists that this century we might be able to greatly enhance the healthy life span of persons, increase intelligence, and some would argue, make ourselves happier, and more virtuous (Pierce, 1996; Walker, 2003; Hughes, 2004). Central to transhumanism is the re-contextualizing of humanity in terms of its technology; it represents a drive towards technological exploration into the enhancement of the human condition. In an era of increasing innovations in informational and biotechnologies, transhumanism presents a radical view of our future world: the merging of humanity with technology as the next stage of our human evolution—we have the opportunity to become something more than human.

Michael, Mark, "An Alternative to the Common Heritage Principle," Environmental Ethics 9(1987):351-371. An argument in favor of a modified Lockean principle of acquisition regarding unowned resources. Nations should be permitted to acquire resources they develop, as long as there is some international mechanism to prevent overexploitation. This "limited Lockean" principle preserves fairness, freedom, and the maximization of the common good. (Katz, Bibl # 1)


Michael, Mark. "An Alternative to the Common Heritage Principle." Environmental Ethics 9(1987):351-71. Many valuable natural resources are found outside current territorial limits, for example, on the Moon and in the deep sea. As technology advances, these resources become more accessible. I argue that the claim that all humanity owns these resources is insupportable if taken literally. Because they are truly unowned, we need to develop a principle of justice in acquisition which describes the procedure that must be followed to obtain property rights to these unowned objects. I conclude with a tentative development of such a principle based on the moral ideals of fairness, freedom, and the maximization of the common good.

Porritt, Jonathon, "The Common Heritage: What Heritage? Common to Whom?" Environmental Values Vol.1 No.3(1992):257-268. ABSTRACT: Global commons are natural goods which transcend national boundaries. A brief glance at management of oceans and terrestrial commons is succeeded by fuller discussion of rainforests, over which nations claim property rights, yet which perform global services. Leasing out could effect a desirable transfer of funds from North to South. Sustainable development requires these or other large incentives towards environmental protection in developing countries, but land and institutional reform are crucial to success. In conclusion, the anthropocentric ethic implicit in all such solutions is contrasted with the ecocentric one which may be necessary to preserve the biosphere in the future.

Without inhabitants, claims of sovereignty are problematic. Antarctica is a continent for scientists and, more recently, tourists. Both focus on wild nature. Life is driven to extremes; these extremes can intensify an ethic. Antarctica as common heritage transforms into wilderness, sanctuary, wonderland.

PBS Cadillac Desert Series OUT OF PRINT A boxed set of all four episodes of the PBS Cadillac Desert series.


Video: Cadillac Desert: Water and the Transformation of Nature - Mulholland's Dream (1997)

"Instant city--just add water!" The story of the transformation of Los Angeles from a neglected 19th-century town into America's largest metropolis boils down to William Mullholland's vision of a pipeline stretching across California to quench the parched town's thirst. Mulholland's Dream uses news footage, clips from Chinatown, and interviews with historians and residents of the areas sucked dry to tell how one desert was exchanged for another early in this century. L.A.'s explosive growth demanded ever-increasing inflow, and only very recently has the great city been forced to consider reducing its demand rather than increasing its supply. Comments from descendents of Mulholland and his adversaries enliven the picture, and we realize just how impassioned these men and women were--they were fighting for their lives. The story of the long struggles, both with neighbors and with nature, make for compelling viewing in this first of the series Cadillac Desert. --Rob Lightner

Description

Revealing the facts behind the fiction of Chinatown, Mulholland's Dream tells the story of William Mulholland, who secretly purchased water rights to the Owens River, then built an aqueduct to "deliver" it to Los Angeles. Includes interviews with Chinatown screenwriter Robert Towne and William Mulholland's granddaughter.


Video: Cadillac Desert: Water and the Transformation of Nature - The Mercy of Nature (1997) California produces much of America's food on some of its most arid land, the San Joaquin Valley. How did this happen? The Mercy of Nature tells the story of the politicians and engineers who created the largest system of water works ever executed, providing practically free water to farmers in the basin. Interviews and newsreel footage combine with haunting portraits of the miles of highway and acres of fields to bring the valley's story to life. The machinations of big business to exploit the government, the water, and the land are exposed, as well as the party-killing political atmosphere following revelations of pesticide buildup and cost overruns. Vivid, beautiful, and funny at times, this is a moving tribute to the small-time farmers who were there before the big projects and will remain after they're gone. Like the rest of the Cadilllac Desert series, The Mercy of Nature reminds us of our limits. --Rob Lightner

Description

This informative look at water politics traces the fierce battles that raged around the transformation of California's Central Valley from semiarid desert into the most environmentally altered agricultural region in history

Harris, Paul G., "Affluence, Poverty and Ecology: International Relations, and Sustainable Development," Ethics and the Environment 2(1997):121-138. Effective efforts to protect the global environment will require the willing cooperation of the world's poor. Persuading them to join international environmental agreements and to choose environmentally sustainable development requires substantial concessions from the affluent industrialized countries, including additional financial assistance and technology transfers. The affluent countries ought to provide such assistance to the world's poor for ethical reasons. Doing so would promote transnational distributive justice, which is defined here as a fair and equitable distribution among countries of benefits, burdens and decision making authority, in this case associated with transnational environmental relations. Conceptions of distributive justice examined include utilitarianism, human rights, causality/responsibility, impartiality, and principles derived from Kantian and Rawlsian ethics. Harris is a visiting research fellow at the Oxford Centre for the Environment, Ethics, and Society. (E&E)


Helm, Carsten, and Simonis, Udo E. "Distributive Justice in International Environmental Policy: Axiomatic Foundation and Exemplary Formulation," Environmental Values 10(2001):5-18. Abstract: Proceeding on a limited number of general, widely accepted equity criteria, we develop a proposal for distributing common resources. In particular, the proposed fair division mechanism is individually rational, envy-free, Pareto-efficient and satisfies the stand alone test, which follows as a minimum requirement from the resource and population monotonicity criteria. Applied to international climate policy, the thrust of this proposal is that the South should initially be fully compensated for the greenhouse gas abatement measures it is to undertake as a result of efficiency considerations. Keywords: Fair division, equity, common resources, climate change. Helm is at Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, Faculty of Economics and Managment. Simonis is at the Science Centre Berlin, Environmental Policy Studies. (EV)

Ecosystem Health: An Objective Evaluation? Lilly-Marlene Russow Environmental Values 4(1995): 363-369 Some ecologists and philosophers have tried to develop a concept of ecosystem health that would support a more 'objective' means of evaluating an ecosystem. I argue (following Dale Jamieson) that the concept of health is itself too subjective to justify such an attempt, and then suggest that part of the problem is that the goal of achieving greater objectivity is itself unclear. I analyse and evaluate three different ways of drawing the distinction between subjective and objective evaluations as a first step towards clarifying that goal.

  3 - 20

 

Many people believe in what can be described as a ‘concentric circles model of responsibilities to others’ in which responsibilities are generally stronger to those physically or affectively closer to us—those who, on this model, occupy circles nearer to us. In particular, it is believed that we have special ties to compatriots and, moreover, that these ties entail stronger obligations than the obligations we have to non-compatriots.

 

While I concede that our strongest obligations may generally be to those family and friends with whom we have close personal relationships, those often thought to occupy the inner core, what I want to challenge is the idea that our obligations diminish in strength when we move beyond the boundary of the circles occupied by compatriots and proceed to those more geographically or culturally distant from us. The weight that is typically placed on the boundary between compatriots and non-compatriots in determining the strength of our obligations to others cannot withstand critical scrutiny. In this paper I show that arguments that are supposed to work to justify stronger obligations to compatriots than non-compatriots do not succeed in the ways imagined. I also present the framework of a contractarian-style model which aims to give us a more systematic way to think about our obligations to ‘non-core’ others, both distant and near. While we can certainly have different kinds of obligations, my analysis shows that our basic obligations to others do not diminish with distance. In addition, my account aims to flesh out what our basic obligations to others are.

Robert Kirkman The ethics of metropolitan growth: a framework Philosophy & Geography Volume 7, Number 2 / August 2004 Pages:             201 - 218

Although debates about the shape and future of the built environment are usually cast in economic and political terms, they also have an irreducible ethical component that stands in need of careful examination. This paper is the report of an exploratory study in descriptive ethics carried out in Atlanta, Georgia. Archival sources and semi-structured interviews provide the basis for identifying and sorting the diverse value judgments and value conflicts that come into play in a rapidly growing metropolitan area. The goal of the project is to expand and refine a draft framework for grappling with the ethical complexity of the situations from which individuals and communities make important decisions about their surroundings. The success of the framework is to be measured by its usefulness in informing the judgment of professionals and citizens, and in facilitating a robust normative debate about the built environment.

Brittan, Jr., Gordon G., "Wind, energy, landscape: reconciling nature and technology," Philosophy and Geography 4 (No. 2, 2001): 169-184. Despite the fact that they are in most respects environmentally benign, electricity-generating wind turbines frequently encounter a great deal of resistance. Much of this resistance is aesthetic in character; wind turbines somehow do not "fit" in the landscape. On one (classical) view, landscapes are beautiful to the extent that they are "scenic", well-balanced compositions. But wind turbines introduce a discordant note, they are out of "scale". On another (ecological) view, landscapes are beautiful if their various elements form a stable and integrated organic whole. But wind turbines are difficult to integrate into the biotic community; at least in certain respects, they are like "weeds". Moreover, there is a reason why the 100-meter, three bladed wind turbines now favored by the industry cannot very well be accommodated to any landscape view. They are, as Albert Borgmann would put it, characteristic of contemporary technology, distanced "devices" for the production of a commodity rather than "things" with which one can engage. It follows that the only way in which the aesthetic resistance to wind turbines can be overcome is to make them more "thing-like". One such "thing-like" turbine is discussed. Brittan is Regent's Professor of Philosophy at Montana State University. (P&G)

Sullivan, Shannon, McCann, Elizabeth, DeYoung, Raymond, Erickson, Donna. "Farmers' Attitudes about Farming and the Environment: A Survey of Conventional and Organic Farmers," Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 9(1996):123-143. This paper compares the attitudes and beliefs of a group of conventional farmers to those of a group of organic farmers. It was found that while both groups reject the idea that a farmer's role is to conquer nature, organic farmers were significantly more supportive of the notion that humans should live in harmony with nature. Organic farmers also reported a greater awareness of and appreciation for nature in their relationship with the land. Both groups view independence as a main benefit of farming and a lack of financial reward as its main drawback. Overall, conventional farmers report more stress in their lives although they also view themselves in a caretaker role for the land more than do the organic farmers. In contrast, organic farmers report more satisfaction with their lives, a greater concern of living ethically and a stronger perception of community. Both groups are willing to have their rights limited (organic farmers somewhat more so) but they do not trust the government to do so. Keywords: environmental attitudes, organic farming environmental ethics. Sullivan, DeYoung and Erickson teach in the School of Natural Resources and Environment, University of Michigan. McCann teaches in the College of Natural Resources, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. (JAEE)

 

Verhoog, Henk, Matze, Mirjam, Van Bueren, Edith Lammerts, and Baars, Ton, "The role of the concept of the natural (naturalness) in organic farming," Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 16(2003):29-49. Producers, traders, and consumers of organic food regularly use the concept of the natural (naturalness) to characterize organic agriculture and or organic food, in contrast to the unnaturalness of conventional agriculture. Critics sometimes argue that such use lacks any rational (scientific) basis and only refers to sentiment. In our project, we made an attempt to clarify the content and the use of the concepts of nature and naturalness in organic agriculture, to relate this conception to discussions within bioethical literature, and to draw the implications for agricultural practice and policy. We conclude that the idea of "naturalness" can be used to characterize organic agriculture and to distinguish it from conventional agriculture, but only if naturalness not only refers to not using chemicals but also to ecological principles and respect for the integrity of life. Thus perceived, the principle of naturalness can also serve as a guide to future developments in the field of organic agriculture. As part of the holocentric ethics of organic farming the value of naturalness has three dimensions: a cognitive one, an emotive one, and a normative one. KEY WORDS: concept of nature and naturalness, environment, ethics, farm ecology, integrity of life, organic agriculture and food. (JAEE)

Cafaro, Philip, "Less is More: Economic Consumption and the Good Life." Philosophy Today 42(1998): 26-39. We should judge economic consumption on whether it improves or detracts from our lives, and act on that basis. The issue of consumption is placed in the context of living a good life, in order to discuss its justifiable limits. Two important areas of our economic activity, food consumption and transportation, are examined from an eudaimonist perspective. From the perspective of our enlightened self-interest, we see that when it comes to economic consumption, less is more. Not always, and not beyond a certain minimum level. But often, less is more; especially for the middle and upper class members of wealthy industrial societies. This is the proper perspective from which to consider environmentalists' calls for limiting consumption in order to protect nature. (v.9,#3)

 

 

Jokes: Philosophical Thoughts on Joking Matters Ted Cohen: Great jokes, shame about the philosophy! Well, that's not entirely fair. This book presents a reasonable philosophy of jokes, but there's not a whole lot to say on this subject, and, anyway, it seems to miss the point somehow. Fortunately, the focus here is as much on the jokes, and some great ones are included, particularly a number of ingenious Jewish jokes which most people haven't heard.

Two pretty good books:

*Understanding Nanotechnology* by the editors of Scientific American is a nice very short (c. 100 pp.) booklet about nano

*Nanotechnology: A Gentle Introduction to the Next Big Idea* by D. Ratner and M. Ratner (father and son) is longer, but accessible and pretty good on the science. less good on the society stuff.

Our project has a work in progress website with other resources that could be helpful:

http://www.cla.sc.edu/cpecs/nirt/bibliography.html

There is a pretty nice historical presentation of the origins of nanotechnology "The Nanotechnology Revolution" by Adam Keiper in *The New Atlantis: A Journal of Technology and Society* Number 2, Summer 2003, pp. 17-34.

Finally, I've attached a paper of my own, "The Mythology of Nanotechnology" that drives through the material your question asks about, but at an oblique angle...

The Pursuit of Happiness

 

Earlier this year, the pharmaceutical manufacturer Allergan announced the "Be The True You 2003 Mall Tour," a traveling roadshow of sorts making the rounds of the nation's shopping centers, offering customer testimonials and consultations with doctors about Botox, a wrinkle-smoothing compound derived from botulinum toxin that won FDA approval for use as a cosmetic last year. When it hit the market, Botox was hailed in the media as the newest, strangest thing under the sun, and to the extent that it's not every day that a close cousin of botulism is touted as the latest route to youth and beauty, such fanfare was understandable. But for all its apparent novelty, Botox was only the most recent of a host of innovations promising renewal and redemption via scalpel, needle, or pill.

Abstract: At first glance, it is surprising that contemporary racist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan advertise a pro-environmental stance. This fact, however, might be expected by Luc Ferry, who argues for a connection between the racism and nature protection laws of the Third Reich. Ferry argues that a non-anthropocentric approach to nature makes it easier to dehumanize humans so that a non-anthropocentric environmental ethic can transform into racist environmentalism. Does this contemporary case vindicate Ferry? We argue that it does not. When the underlying theoretical foundations and historical conditions that gave rise to the racist environmentalist movements and the contemporary non-anthropocentric environmental left are analyzed, quite different pictures emerge: one type of non-anthropocentric environmentalism is racist, one type of anthropocentric environmentalism is racist, and one type of non-anthropocentric environmentalism is not racist, meaning that any relation between a non-anthropocentric approach to nature and dehumanizing the Other is more complex and historically contextual than Ferry allows.

To have moral standing is, at a minimum, to command respect, to be something more than a mere thing. Is there any reason to believe that all species have moral standing in even this most minimal sense? If so - that is, if all species command respect - is there any reason to believe they all command equal respect. The article summarises critical responses to Paul Taylor's argument for species egalitarianism, then explains why other species command our respect but also why they do not command equal respect. The intuition that we should have respect for nature is part of what motivates people to embrace species egalitarianism, but one need not be a species egalitarian to have respect for nature. The article closes by questioning whether species egalitarianism is even compatible with respect for nature.

Subject: [ISEE-L] Announcement: Civic Environmentalism Conference

Workshop Announcement Designing for Civic Environmentalism
November 12-15, 2003 School of Architecture University of Texas at Austin

A combined architectural studio and academic workshop sponsored by the Harrington Faculty Fellowship program at the University of Texas at Austin and the UT Center for Sustainable Development. Coordinators: Andrew Light (NYU) and Steven Moore (University of Texas)

A critical literature is growing on the relationship between democratic participation and the resolution of environmental problems. Called variously "civic environmentalism," and "ecological citizenship," such proposals have in common the belief that environmental problems will not be solved without encouraging environmental forms of substantial civic participation. But beyond the theoretical debates which have shaped this literature, what architectural or planning designs would best encourage a more morally responsible set of environmental virtues among citizens? The aim of this workshop is to encourage a more focused discussion of these themes, and therefore a more specific set of proposals concerning the structural possibilities for creating a civic environmentalism.


Friday, November 14-Saturday, November 15 Academic Workshop. Presentations begin at 9:30AM, including:

Naess, Arne, "Should We Try To Relieve Clear Cases of Extreme Suffering in Nature? Pan Ecology, vol. 6, no. 1, Winter 1991. Naess examines "the darker side of free nature." "Perseverance in the service of protecting nature, support of the deep ecology movement, does not imply any definite opinion on questions of unconditional goodness of nature as a set of ecosystems." "If adequate ecological knowledge were available, some of us would not hesitate to interfere on a large scale against intense and persistent pain." Naess would not interfere with most predation or parasitism, but thinks there are exceptions. He would, if he could, eliminate a reindeer parasite, Cephenomyia trompe, an insect whose larvae grow in the noses of reindeer and slowly suffocate them. "What do humans do when witnessing animals in what they think is unnecessary and prolonged pain? Those who intensively identify with the victims try to rescue them--provided it is not too late and a practical way is seen. Generalized, and made into a policy, rescue attempts would not amount to an attempt to interfere and reform nature." "Respect for the dignity of free nature and proper humility do not rule out planned interference on a greater scale, as long as the aim is a moderation of conditions of extreme and prolonged pain, human or nonhuman. Such pain eliminates the experience of a joyful reality. The higher levels of self-realization of a mature being require assistance to other living beings to realize their potentialities, and this inevitably actualizes concern for the sufferers." Naess is professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Oslo and the founder of deep ecology. (v2,#1)

deLeeuw (de Leeuw), A. Dionys, "Contemplating the Interests of Fish: The Angler's Challenge" Environmental Ethics 18(1996):373-390. I examine the morality of sport fishing by focusing on the respect that anglers show for the interests of fish compared to the respect that hunters show for their game. Angling is a form of hunting because of the strong link between these two activities in literature, in management, and in the individual's participation in both angling and hunting, and in the similarity of both activities during the process of pursuing an animal in order to control it. Fish are similar in many ways to animals that are hunted, including their interests in survival and in avoiding pain. These interests need to be considered by anglers for moral reasons. All hunters and anglers value their sport with animals more than they respect the lives of animals they pursue. Hunters are, therefore, similar to anglers in the respect that they show for the survival interests of their game animals. Hunters, however, are significantly different from anglers in the respect that they show for an animal's interest in avoiding pain and suffering. While hunters make every effort to reduce pain and suffering in their game animals, anglers purposefully inflict these conditions on fish. These similarities and differences have three important consequences. (1) The moral argument justifying the killing of animals for sport in hunting must apply to all of angling as well. (2) Angling, unlike hunting, requires a second justification for the intentional infliction of avoidable pain and suffering in fish. (3) If ethical hunters hold true to their principle of avoiding all suffering in animal that they pursue, then hunters must reject all sports fishing. de Leeuw is a biologist with the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands, and Parks. Williams directs an institute for applied ethics, and teaches philosophy at Saint Thomas University, Fredericton, New Brunwick. (EE)


Olsen, Len. "Contemplating the Intentions of Anglers: The Ethicist's Challenge." Environmental Ethics 25(2003):267-277. There are theoretical difficulties involving the intentions of anglers that must be faced by anyone who wants to argue that sport fishing is ethically impermissible. Recent arguments have focused on what might be called the sadistic argument. This argument is fatally flawed because sport fishing is not a sadistic activity. (EE)

Toward an ethics of the domesticated environment pp. 3 - 14 Roger J. H. King: This essay articulates the importance of the domesticated landscape for a mature environmental ethics. Human beings are spatial beings, deeply implicated in their relationships to places, both wild and domesticated. Human identity evolves contextually through interaction with a "world." If this world obscures our perception of wild nature, it will be difficult to motivatethe social and psychological will to imagine, let alone participate in, a culture that values environmentally responsible conduct. My argument is informed by a pragmatist suspicion of fixed\dualisms separating humans from nature, the wild from the domesticated, and the natural from the artificial. Drawing on a variety of sources, the essay calls for greater attention to the ways in which the making of our domesticated worlds can contribute to or undermine our ability to take the intrinsic value of nature seriously.

Such development frequently engulfs the habitats of native animals, with a variety of effects on their existence location and ways of living. This paper attempts to theorize about some of these effects, drawing on aspects of Foucault's discussions of power and using a metaphor of human colonization, where colonization is understood as an "ongoing process of dispossession, negotiation, transformation, and resistance." It argues that a variety of different kinds of human/animal power relations can exist in urban areas, not all of which are examples of human domination. The paper concludes by raising a number of questions about the implications of these human/animal relations.

Grunwald, Michael, "Departmental Differences Show Over ANWR Drilling," Washington Post (10/19/01): A1. ANWR debate rages on. Drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) continues to be hotly contested. Proponents have recently been arguing for the drilling on national security grounds, as a way of lessening the U.S.'s dependence on foreign oil. Opponents of ANWR drilling argue that even if proponents are right that there is a 2-3 year U.S. supply of oil there (rather than the 6 month supply the opponents claim), the oil won't be available for years. Opponents also argue that raising automobile fuel efficiency standards would save us more oil overall and sooner. At recent Congressional hearings, U.S. Interior Secretary Gale Norton was accused by opponents of slanting her testimony about whether or not drilling would affect the Porcupine Caribou Herd which uses ANWR's coastal plain (where the oil is) to calve. Norton had asked Interior's own Fish and Wildlife Service for information on this issue and then selected only that part of their report that suited her pro-drilling purposes. She also cited a peer-review caribou study that concluded oil development would have no impact on the caribou. Opponents argued that the study was funded by BP Exploration (British Petroleum is one of the companies hoping to drill in ANWR). Given the conflicting studies, it seems reasonable to assume that we do not know how significantly the Porcupine Herd would be affected by oil development. But this uncertainty can itself be seen as a reason to forgo this development. Alaska's Gwich'in Indians continue to hunt this herd as part of a largely subsistence way of life. Significant disturbance of these caribou would threaten their cultural survival. Even a small chance of causing cultural genocide would seem to be enough to prohibit an optional activity of this sort. For a helpful discussion of the ANWR debate, see Sandra Hinchman, "Endangered Species, Endangered Culture: Native Resistance to Industrializing the Arctic" paper given at Seventh World Wilderness Congress, November 2-8, 2001, Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Paper available from Hinchman at shinchman@stlawu.edu. Hinchman is Professor of Government at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. (v.12,#4)


Kaiser, Jocelyn, "Caribou Study Fuels Debate on Drilling in Arctic Refuge," Science 296(19 April 2002):444-445. Caribou study fuels debate on drilling in Arctic refuge. The US Department of Interior, US Geological Survey, released a report that said oil drilling would harm caribou in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), a report that came out on the eve of a Senate vote on drilling. But a week later there was a hastily done addendum, with revised conclusions. Some interpreted this as Interior Secretary Gail Norton manipulating science to promote the Bush Administration's views. Other scientists say the first report was based on a larger drilling area, which has since been reduced in size, and hence the addendum. Also the debate turns not only on where the caribou calve, but on where they then go to escape insects. Meanwhile other geologists note that best estimates are that drilling in ANWR would reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil from 62% to 60%, a drop in the bucket. (v.13,#2)

The issue of drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge involved intense lobbying in the Senate. Since the House had approved the drilling and President Bush supports it, the Senate vote would decide the issue. Arctic Power, a multimillion dollar lobbying group funded mainly by the state of Alaska, sent Inupiat Eskimos to Washington to lobby the Senators in favor of drilling (and the economic development it would involve for some Native Alaskans). Stephen Moore, president of The Club for Growth, a fund-raising group for conservative political candidates, explained why conservatives see arctic drilling as a matter of principle: "There is a belief on the environmentalist side that we're running out of oil, that we have to conserve energy. I'm adamantly opposed to energy conservation. We're not running out. All we have to do is go out and find it and produce it." The League of Conservation voters, which publishes an annual scorecard of environmental votes, announced that the vote on drilling would count double, calling it a "litmus test on who favors a flawed energy policy that relies on fossil fuels." One Senator who was trying to promote a compromise of limited drilling in the Arctic for tougher fuel efficiency standards gave up when he realized environmental organizations would not budge in their opposition to drilling: "If you told the environmentalist we would end global warming once and for all in return for ANWR, they'd still say no."

Revkin, Andrew, "Hunting for Oil: New Precision, Less Pollution" New York Times (01/30/01): D1. New oil-drilling techniques that are environmentally less harmful. With the ongoing debate over whether to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, it may be useful to understand some of the new oil discovery and extraction technologies touted by industry as environmentally friendly. Instead of peppering the surface with wells over a broad area, new supercomputer simulations of the deep earth and new drilling equipment allow wells to be constructed on small gravel pads with drills branching out underground for four or five miles following thin layers containing oil. Instead of waste pits that overflow with drilling mud, contaminated water, spilled oil, and discarded chemicals, waste, garbage, and rock cuttings can now be ground into a slurry and pumped into the ground 2000 feet beneath the 2000 foot-thick permafrost. Roads that were once built of gravel mined from river beds and that spread far and wide on the fragile tundra can now be built from ice (either from water pumped from tundra ponds or from ice scraped from ponds and laid down like gravel). Ice roads melt away in the spring thaw and leave few traces. Even the maze of pipelines which are an unavoidable means of collecting the oil can be raised to allow animals to duck underneath and are punctuated with elevated elbows so that less oil is spilled if one section is punctured. Both sides agree that the new surveying techniques are a mixed blessing environmentally. Although no longer using dynamite, the new three-dimensional seismic technology that performs ultrasound on the earth involves the use of vibrating 10-ton vehicles that do not travel on ice roads but crisscross the open tundra in a much more intensive way than with the old surveying techniques. Scars are left on the tundra and there is a greatly increased chance of encountering and disrupting wildlife. The new surveying techniques have raised the success rate from 1 producing well for each 10 exploratory wells to 5 in 10. One environmental critic responding to the elaboration of these new technologies says that once the work shifts from exploration to extraction of oil, the result is always a sprawl of pipelines, roads, crew quarters, and fuel depots: "In the end, even with all this technology, you've got a massive industrial complex."

Callicott, J. Baird and Eugene C. Hargrove. "Leopold's `Means and Ends in Wild Life Management': A Brief Commentary." Environmental Ethics 12(1990):333-37. Leopold's lecture at Beloit College provides an important glimpse into his conversion from a philosophy of prudent scientific resource management to a land ethic and aesthetic. Leopold here advocates natural regulation not simply because of his growing concern that invasive management principles are limited, but also because of aesthetic considerations that were independent of his instrumental or "utilitarian" training at the Yale Forest School and in the U.S. Forest Service. The lecture is helpful in correcting an unfortunate misreading of Leopold's famous essay, "The Land Ethic," according to which the land ethic is interpreted as being based primarily on human welfare and self-interest. Callicott is in the department of philosophy, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Stevens-Point, WI. Hargrove is in the department of philosophy, University of North Texas, Denton, Texas. (EE)

Democracy & Nature Issue: Number 3/November 01, 2002 Pages: 439 - 465 Biotechnology, Ethics and the Politics of Cloning Steven Best , Douglas Kellner:

 As the debates over cloning and stem cell research indicate, issues raised by biotechnology combine research into the genetic sciences,

 perspectives and contexts articulated by the social sciences, and the

 ethical and anthropological concerns of philosophy. Consequently, we

 argue that intervening in the debates over biotechnology require

 supradisciplinary critical philosophy and social theory to illuminate the

 problems and their stakes. More specifically, we will demonstrate

 problems with the cloning of animals that for now render the cloning of

 humans unacceptable. In addition, we take on arguments for and

 against stem cell research and contend that it contains positive potential

 for medical advances that should not be blocked by problematic

 conservative positions. Nonetheless, we believe that the entire realm of

 biotechnology is fraught with dangers and problems that require careful

 study and democratic debate of key ethical and political issues.


 



Wenz, Peter S. "Pragmatism in Practice: The Efficiency of Sustainable Agriculture." Environmental Ethics 21(1999):391-410. Bryan Norton advocates using the perspectives and methods of American pragmatism in environmental philosophy. J. Baird Callicott criticizes Norton's view as unproductive anti-philosophy. I find worth and deficiencies in both sides. On the one hand, I support the pragmatic approach, illustrating its use in an argument for sustainable agriculture. On the other hand, I take issue with Norton's claim that pragmatists should confine themselves to anthropocentric arguments. Here I agree with Callicott's inclusion of nonanthropocentric consideration. However, I reject Callicott's moral monism. In sum, I support pragmatic moral pluralism that includes nonanthropocentric values. (EE)

Logsdon, Gene. At Nature's Pace. Foreword by Wendell Berry. New York: Pantheon Books, 1994. 208 pp. $23 hardbound. Formerly an editor for Farm Journal, Logsdon is an ardent

defender of the small traditional farm (the farm of fifty years ago), an honor he shares with Wendell Berry. Logsdon farms thirty acres in Ohio, and has written twelve books and hundreds

of articles. The small farm is not dead, he argues; rather, the future will have more farmers, not fewer. Farms will be ecologically sane and community-interdependent. The error of the

past was that farmers tried to live like city folks. The Amish have proved that farming is a decent living.

(no. 3, 1992):369-385. The myth persists that in 1492 the Americans were a sparsely populated wilderness, "a world of barely perceptible human disturbance." There is substantial evidence, however, that the Native American landscape of the early sixteenth century was a humanized landscape almost everywhere. Populations were large. Forest composition had been modified, grasslands had been created, wildlife disrupted, and erosion was severe in places. Earthworks, roads, fields, and settlements were ubiquitous. With Indian depopulation in the wake of Old World disease, the environment recovered in many areas. A good argument can be made that the human presence was less visible in 1750 than it was in 1492. "There are no virgin tropical forests today, nor were there in 1492" (p. 375). Denevan is a geographer at the University of Wisconsin. (v6,#4)

Robert Kirkman----SKEPTICAL ENVIRONMENTALISM:

THE LIMITS OF PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE (Katz wanted me to review).

 

Not the Cambridge UP book The Skeptical Environmentalist causing such an uproar. Sam Hines says that recent issue of Scientific American has responses to this book May 1, 2002 January 2002. Recently (Jan 02) Scientific American published "Misleading Math about the Earth," a series of essays that criticized Bjørn Lomborg's The Skeptical Environmentalist. Lomborg replies in the May 02 issue.

 

(Jan 02) Scientific American "Misleading Math about the Earth," a series of essays that criticized Bjørn Lomborg's The Skeptical Environmentalist. Lomborg replies in the May 02 issue. I found all this online. Sam also showed me a debate in The Skeptic 9,2, 2002 between Lomborg "The Real State of the World" and David Pimentel "Skeptical of the Skeptical Environmentalist".

Philosophy and Geography Volume 5, Number 1/February 01, 2002 Pages:35 - 50 Wilderness, cultivation and appropriation John O'Neill Abstract:


  "Nature" and "wilderness" are central normative categories of

  environmentalism. Appeal to those categories has been subject to two

  lines of criticism: from constructivists who deny there is something called

  "nature" to be defended; from the environmental justice movement who

  point to the role of appeals to "nature" and "wilderness" in the

  appropriation of land of socially marginal populations. While these

  arguments often come together they are independent. This paper

  develops the second line of argument by placing recent appeals to

  "wilderness" in the context of historical uses of the concept to justify the

  appropriation of land. However, it argues that the constructivist line is less

  defensible. The paper finishes by placing the debates around wilderness

  in the context of more general tensions between philosophical

  perspectives on the environment and the particular cultural perspectives

  of disciplines like anthropology, in particular the prima facie conflict

  between the aspirations of many philosophers for thin and cosmopolitan

  moral language that transcends local culture, and the aspirations of

  disciplines like anthropology to uncover a thick moral vocabulary that is

  local to particular cultures.

Landres, Peter, Brunson, Mark W., and Merigliano, Linda, "Naturalness and Wildness: The Dilemma and Irony of Ecological Restoration in Wilderness," Wild Earth 10(no 4, Winter 2000/2001):77-82. The authors argue that restoration biology in wilderness areas (such as removing exotic weeds or high fuel loads from former fire suppression areas) interrupts the "wildness" ongoing there in order to restore the "naturalness." Managing to remove a disruption interrupts "wildness" to regain "naturalness," a dilemma. The possibility (semantically as well as empirically) that restoration biology restores both wildness and naturalness is not entertained. "Wildness" seems to require uninterrupted historical continuity while "naturalness" does not. Landres is an ecologist at the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute, Missoula, MT.

When presented with the claim of the moral vegetarian that it is wrong for us to eat meat, many people respond that because it is not wrong for lions, tigers and other carnivores to kill and eat animals, it cannot be wrong for humans to do so. This response is what Peter Alward has called the naive argument. Peter Alward has

defended the naive argument against objections. I argue that his defence fails. Keywords: Vegetarianism, naive argument. Benatar is at the Philosophy Department, University of Cape Town, South Africa. (EV)


Alward, Peter. "The Naive Argument Against Moral Vegetarianism." Environmental Values 9(2000):81-89. ABSTRACT: The naive argument against moral vegetarianism claims that if it is wrong for us to eat meant then it is wrong for lions and tigers to do so as well. I argue that the fact that such carnivores lack higher order mental states and need meat to survive do (not?) suffice to undermine the naive argument.

Police power is used to prevent harm to others. Wetlands and endangered species legislation can be construed as designed to prevent harm to others, but some conceptual work here remains to be done. There is a need to draw better analogies with traditionally recognized public goods put in jeopardy by adverse land uses, also a need to stress the way general trends in land management can adversely affect ecological processes when the actions of private individuals would not.

Cafaro, Philip, "Less is More: Economic Consumption and the Good Life." Philosophy Today 42(1998): 26-39. We should judge economic consumption on whether it improves or detracts from our lives, and act on that basis. The issue of consumption is placed in the context of living a good life, in order to discuss its justifiable limits. Two important areas of our economic activity, food consumption and transportation, are examined from an eudaimonist perspective. From the perspective of our enlightened self-interest, we see that when it comes to economic consumption, less is more. Not always, and not beyond a certain minimum level. But often, less is more; especially for the middle and upper class members of wealthy industrial societies. This is the proper perspective from which to consider environmentalists' calls for limiting consumption in order to protect nature. (v.9,#3)
