Description In the field of the environment, ethical studies generally focus on the justification of environmental measures, but rarely on the ethical problems that arise during their implementation. In the field of the environment, ethical studies generally focus on the justification of environmental measures, but rarely on the ethical problems that arise during their implementation. This lecture presents the method of principlism and analyzes the implementation of certain environmental challenges. These change each semester the course is taught. This course is in English including examination.
In the accompanying reading seminar students discuss key texts of environmental ethics and climate justice. The seminar follows the program of the lecture “Principles of Environmental Ethics” and will address selected issues and positions presented in the lecture in more detail.
Semestre de printemps 2022
In fall 2022 the lecture focuses on an aspect of our lives that is not only fundamental for our survival but also has tremendous impacts on the environment and the climate: the production of healthy and nutritious food. The first part of this lecture is concerned with the various entitlements of human and non-human entities in our food chains. The second part discusses the ethical implications of the reciprocal influence between agriculture and climate change. The third part engages challenges of unequal access to technology for climate mitigation and adaptation in food production.Training objectives The students deepen their knowledge of environmental ethics acquired in the Bachelor's degree. The students are now able to apply learned concepts, theories and principles of environmental ethics to more complex problem cases and can reflect on the problem in a multi-layered and differentiated way. In addition, students learn to critically examine scientific texts from the fields of environmental ethics and justice. This leads to a deeper understanding of the "Principles of Environmental Ethics" and various theories of justice, which are of central importance for the study of environmental ethics issues.
