PhilosEcolAnt on eco-ethics.
In matters concerning the life giving and sustaining environment, the questions on the type of value or moral consideration, typical of early ethical theory, is merely a distraction from the essential questions, and can even become detrimental to life. Heidegger offers a valid approach that provides a more thoughtful basis to my relationship with the environment than would other value based theories. Instead of inquiring into the value of the environment as some object, I can simply accept the self-evident value of life and instead ask how I can most effectively live with and within the world – as it actually is.
