PHIL 260 - Eco-Philosophy
In the face of unprecedented environmental crises and catastrophes, ecological philosophy focuses on biodiversity and on cultural and philosophical value systems and ways of knowing respectful of such. The course explores how value systems and economic systems shape our relationship to nature and to each other, and thus how we sustain ourselves. This course examines how consumers in the global North conceive of themselves and live as if “outside nature,” yet depend on peoples in and from the global South, in a system which relies on environmental racism and environmental colonialism.
