This thesis argues that, in order to address adequately the ecological crisis, humanity needs to change drastically soon from ecologically harmful to ecologically friendly attitudes and practices. In our Christian understanding, this change requires a conversion from ecological vices to ecological virtues. To do so, humanity needs to move away from its overtly anthropocentric concerns to a more genuine respect for creation. Drawing from Church tradition, this thesis establishes that creation has rights, endowed by the Creator, that need to be protected, if ecological integrity is to be preserved. This thesis suggests what these rights should be and the means that would allow their protection. I then argue that, for the necessary changes in human behaviour to take places, ecological conversion needs to begin with individual conversion before social transformation is possible. This thesis, therefore, proposes the ecological virtues needed for individual conversion, and then ecological social action and advocacy. Thus, this thesis charts a course forward from principles, to motivations, and finally, to action

Krueger, Barbara Murphy. "Climate Change Virtue Ethics and Ecocriticism in Undergraduate Education." Thesis, Prescott College, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1583209.
Full textThis thesis explores the question: can an ecocritical approach to environmental virtue ethics (EVE) in undergraduate climate change education inform students' understanding of the ethical issues of climate change and promote environmental responsibility and action? Philosophical theories of virtue ethics will be discussed from an historical perspective as well as to its renewal in the 20th century, especially within the context of the wicked dimensions of the climate change crisis. Dominant themes in climate change ethics including concerns over the scientific complexity, global dimensions, temporal issues, intergenerational fairness and responsibility, justice, and human rights will be presented and used to devise a compendium of climate change virtues and vices. Environmental and climate change education research will be reviewed as well as the reasons for its failure to produce a substantial shift in attitudes and behavior of people especially in the global North will be deliberated. Ecocriticism, which studies the relationship between literature and visual and audial art will be explored, and a novel curriculum based on theoretical elements from climate change virtue ethics and supported with examples of the ecocritical arts will be proposed. It is my belief that an interdisciplinary framework supported and illustrated by climate change ecocriticism from any and all of the literary, visual, audial, and performance arts will create deeper understandings of climate change complexity.

In past research regarding the issue, “Why people should protect environment?”, there has been a debate between anthropcentrism and nonanthropocentrism. Because the situation has favored nonthropocentrism, the general conclusion is that human must pay moral attention to nature. However, this conclusion is unsatisfying because (1) it neglected that the issue of environmental protection was raised due to the threat of human survival, and (2) it neglected that the work of environment protection is through human being. Going back to the original issue, this thesis uses historical interpretation and document analysis to claim that the reason that we want to protect environment is that we want to sustain human race, although the view of “sustainable development” points out this concept, but it still fails to support both the ideas of “human development” and “environmental protection”. There are two reasons that nonanthropocentrism scholars failed to justify that human obligates to pay moral attention to protect environment in the pass studies. First, they cannot give a clear definition of “anthropocentrism”, so their criticism has less power. Second, they applied moral principles to claim that nature has intrinsic value sufficient enough to attract human to pay moral attention. This is a misuse of the moral principle because they neglected that human is the center of the application of moral principle, and their theory did not address the difference between “is” and “ought to”, so there were some defects in their theory. This thesis tries to use the approach of virtue ethics. Through the illumination from “land ethics”, it bridges Darwin’s moral develop view and virtue ethics, and develops an “environmental virtue ethics” view. In this point of view, human will apply “philia” virtue to sustain whole survival of human being, and extend this concern to the environment around him. These two purposes form a minimal “justice” view to make believe that all the individuals of human being form a community to support all human members alive, and all kinds of development will not overload for the living environment. Thus in this view, to develop “philia” virtue to keep sustainability of whole human being is a necessary condition for environment protection, and to develop “justice” virtue to satisfy the least criterion is a sufficient condition for environment protection.

“The ultimate goal of environmental education (E.E.) is to train up the people who have environmental ethics and act with correct environmental attitudes and values.” The declaration made by Dr. Yang points out the role of environmental ethics in E.E.. area. Then, after studying the research about education for environmental ethics in Taiwan, We found that we need more spcefic ethical theory of education for Environmental Ethics. Since virtue-oriented approach of environmental ethics focus on what character should we develop to reach ‘Eudaimonia’, which entails human and environment both flourishing. We require environmental virtues to guiding our life. Such approach emphasizes the ability of practice, is very pragmatic. Additionally, E.E.’s definetion implies growing both positive attitudes and the abilities of problem solving. Therefore, virtue-oriented approach fits E.E.’s goal. As a result, the job of this study is to find out the environmental virtues that practice environmental ethics in people’s life. This study adopt philosophical thinking to operate the following research method: stress concept analysis and the method of inductive/deductive for reference. And first, concluding Ronald L. Sandler’s theory to frame out virtue-oriented environmental ethics. Second, applying this approach to show Rachel L. Carson, environmental exampler’s excellent life and virtues. We tried to answer these topics: how a virtuous person think about environmental ethics, how to make a ethical judgement by virtues, and how to take ethical action with practical wisdom. We get following results: 1.The meaning of education for environmental ethics are: (1)acquire the abilities which can promote both human and environment flourish. (2)cultivate and practice environmental virtues. 2.Environmental virtues are: (1)commune with nature, (2)self understanding, (3)care for others, (4)judging ethical issue by reason, and (5)practice abilities.

Philip Cafaro's environmental virtue ethic goal is how limit consumption could improve our life. To realize the worldview of Cafaro's environmental virtue ethic, we need to know the philosophical view of his environmental virtues and environmental vices, and how his goal could improve our life. The approach taken in this study is to use his environmental virtue ethic theories to face Taiwan's population and environment issues. Therefore, this study will first analyze Taiwan's population and environment issues, taking air pollution, river pollution and overdevelopment as examples. Then this study will discuss the majors of environmental vices, environmental wisdom, and the limit consumption theory of Cafaro’s environmental virtue ethic, and then reflect his theories above. By reflect Cafaro’s theories, this study claims that improving our life is not enough to consider only limit consumption. It is necessary to consider the impact of population. Therefore, at the end of this study will face population and environment issues in Taiwan by strengthening Cafaro’s limit consumption theory, and then provide Taiwan’s education and policies in accordance with the spirit of Cafaro’s environmental virtue ethic.
