Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses the concepts of modern Ethics and Moral, on a critical perspective to the dominant standpoint that set the morale in the order of the rules and social conventions and leave the ethics on the field of personal experience. He tries to discover the complex and dialectical connection between ethics and moral, from Aristotle's Ethics and Aristotle's Politics to the contemporary Environmental Philosophy and Environmental Ethics. Analyses the contribution of the environmental philosophy from the twentieth century philosophy renovation. Their analytic perspective is that the fundamental push of environmental philosophy is the ethical issue and moral problems. Modern "Environmental Reason" emerged, as a new categorical imperative to the men's action, postulating: 1. The environmental philosophy builds a new ontology created by the critique of anthropocentrism. 2. But, only its articulation with a new epistemology, founded in the critique of ethnocentrism, could lead toa new ethics universal theory. 3. However, the applied ethics of environmental philosophy needs a new global political ethics shaped on the critique against political alienation and the single thought.
