Incorporação e comprometimento

Neste artigo apresentamos as principais linhas de determinação da abordagem estética de Arnold Berleant, assim como as objeções que lhe são lançadas pelo filósofo ambiental Holmes Rolston III. Tratando-se de uma perspetiva emotivista, a conceptualização de Berleant não faculta a compreensão de uma estética da natureza de significado ético, penalizando, deste modo, o diálogo entre a apreciação estética e a ação. No entanto, a nosso ver, a dimensão sensitiva do apreciante aqui retratada, constitui uma valiosa perspetiva sobre a multidimensionalidade da experiência estética da natureza e, logo, um contributo fundamental que deve ser integrado e afirmado na correlação entre a estética e a ética ambientais.

Komparasi Pandangan Filsafat Agama Albert Einstein dan Holmes Rolston III

<p><em>The effort of searching God that be done by human, some of them really find God but also many of them that be lost in the forest of Metafisisme. The discussion of philosophy and religion is the case that very interesting, even many philosophy which has been discussed about them, start from the contra until want to join both of them. In the case the contribution of philosophy and sciences is to accompany of faith to the God, within certain limits can support the various evidence of the truth of existence and the power of God which has been widely revealed by religion. Science seek the truth by research, experience (empirical) and experiment as the exam. Philosophy approache the truth with exploration of common sense in radical (rooted), it does not feel bound by any, expect by their own hands, that is logic. This study will compare the ideas of Albert Einstein and Holmes Rolston III who use the approach of science in studying the philosophy of religion.</em><em></em></p>

The Paradigm of the Wild, Cultural Diversity, and Chinese Environmentalism

The so-called “Paradigm of the Wild” means either environmental ethics or environmental aesthetics has gone wild. According to Holmes Rolston, III, “philosophy has gone wild.” Chinese traditional environmentalism takes another anthropocosmic way, and it has a global applicability in cultural diversity. The dichotomy of “nature-culture” is already out of date, and humans have to face the new relation of humanized-nature today. From the perspec­tive of “ethics and aesthetics” in Chinese Confucianism, a different passageway between environmental ethics and environmental aesthetics can be shaped.

1. Origins

For centuries we have been changing the natural world around us, through hunting and farming; building, mining, and engineering; and travelling and trading. But we can no longer take it for granted. ‘Origins’ outlines the rise of ecological science in the 20th century and the new awareness of the unexpected side-effects of human impacts on the environment raised by Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac (1949) and Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962). It also describes the emergence of environmental ethics with the work of philosophers Richard Routley, Arne Naess, and Holmes Rolston III. One common feature of their contributions was their rejection of a human-interests-only or ‘anthropocentric’ approach to ethics.

Problemas Ontológicos da Filosofia da Tecnologia: natural e artificial na ética ambiental de Holmes Rolston III

A necessidade de se pensar a tecnologia é cada vez maior não apenas pela evidente relação das novas tecnologias com sérias questões de ordem ética que reclamam deliberação, mas principalmente porque a tecnologia influencia quase todos os âmbitos da nossa existência seja para permitir, melhorar ou facilitar a vida, seja para a produção sistemática de supérfluos que a ameaça. Neste artigo evidenciam-se questões ontológicas relativas ao conceito de natural e artificial no pensamento do filósofo ambientalista Holmes Rolston III, nome influente na construção de uma nova ética que promove o respeito pelo valor intrínseco da vida, considerando outras formas de vida como igualmente merecedoras de consideração moral. As concepções ontológicas elucidadas por este autor nos permitem esclarecer algumas de suas propostas políticas que preconizam um efetivo gerenciamento da Terra, tendo em vista maneiras de conservar e criar espaços aonde o ser humano possa respeitar os ciclos naturais, ao mesmo tempo em que permite a criação de domínios de síntese, de interação equilibrada entre a esfera da cultura e a da natureza.

El tabú de la sobrepoblación y la ética ambiental

In this paper, I establish the disscus the ethical urgency of the overpopulation problem as a cause of the planet’s destruction y the deshumanization. I hold up that the overpopulation is a taboo for the ecologists in general and for important ambiental ethical teorics. And I reckon this problem is holding up for religious prejuides. In this way, I don`t support a malthusian perspective, on the contrary, I criticise such perspective in Holmes Rolston III and other enviromental teorics. I think in a solution through the education and stimulating and public politcs.
