Environmental Midwifery and the Need for an Ethics of the Transition: A Quick Riff on the Future of Environmental Ethics
2007
Overview
Gardiner discusses several issues about environmental ethics and education, including the corresponding need for a transitional ethics. He opines that the main task of an ethics for the transition lies somewhere between grand theory and pragmatism. Moreover, what people are hoping for is a way to transform serious environmental concern into social change. However, they want this transformation to be responsive to, reflective of, and integrated with wider values. Sensing that modern life has significant vices, but also major virtues, they wish to see environmental ethics synthesize their concerns in new and creative ways. In summary, like a Socratic midwife, they want environmental philosophy to help them to articulate the way forward.
