This page is my final project in the Environmental Studies Capstone Seminar at Swarthmore College which is required to complete an Environmental Studies Concentration . It is intended to provide a variety of sources for information about a range of topics in environmental ethics/philosophy.
You may view the list of topics considered during the class by going to the index, see the essays we read by following the essays link, go to a page of annotated web links I found applicable to each topic (through links), or read papers my classmates and I wrote after reflecting on the listed essays (student papers).
Section I of each page addresses more obviously philosophically-oriented ethical questions (such as: What has intrinsic value?), wheras Section II considers places where ethics are applied to practical environmental issues.
I hope this proves useful to you!
Please email me with any comments/questions/suggestions you have regarding this page.
