| Title | The Value of the Valuer |
| Summary | In the thesis I look for the conditions and characteristics of an environmental moral theory that would make it adequate, that is in accordance with the fundamental environmental intuitions. First I use Christine Korsgaard’s classification of values to identify the types views within the field environmental ethics. I analyze anthropocentrism and non-anthropocentrism as the two main classes of views in the field. Then I investigate the fundamental intuitions behind the environmental moral philosophy and contrast them with the existing accounts. Finally I propose an alternative classification of environmental theories that reveals another possible type of view, a bottom-up non-anthropocentrism, and offer its first formulation. |
