This course studies the ethical relationships between human beings and the natural environment, including the living nonhuman individuals that populate and constitute it, and nonliving natural resources. It involves developing a proper and clear understanding of the human–nature relationship, identifying the goods and values that are part of or emerge from that relationship, determining the norms (rules/ principles) that those goods and values justify, and applying those norms to generate guidance on environmental
issues and interactions. This course can be used to satisfy University Studies requirements.
