Technology, the environment and the moral considerability of artefacts

Benjamin Hale

pp. 216-240

Ever since environmental ethics kicked off as an accepted subdiscipline of applied ethics in the late 1960s, there have been two primary issues with which theorists have grappled. On one hand, there is the ontological issue of what nature is; and on the other hand, there is the ethical issue of what matters ethically. These issues have more or less been approached from two traditional but separate branches of philosophy: metaphysics and value theory.
