Scale, Awareness and Conscience: The Moral Terrain of Ecological Vulnerability

  • Chapter
New Dimensions in Bioethics

  • 237 Accesses

Abstract

Prosperity is stressing the environment. This interaction can be illuminated by separating out aggregate size (scale), available science (awareness), and the obligation to respond (conscience). Solutions require an evolving vision of the good life, a sustained commitment to open science, and both an active and a reverent management of the Earth.
