Course Contents

We will study the implications of the environmental crisis for morality
(the good) and reality (the being). We will examine its ethical and
ontological aspects. We will also study the religions and philosophical
traditions that are the historical causes of the environmental crisis.
Thus the class has a theoretical and cultural focus. The class concerns
Western philosophy, which we will compare with lujia（儒家）, daojiao（道教）,
foxue（佛學）, and chan（禪）. Mostly we will discuss contemporary
writings by various Western thinkers.

The class is taught in English; ke shi ni men ke yi shuo guo yu;
ru guo ni men shuo man yi dian, wo da gai ke yi ting de dong.
（可是你們可以說國語；如果你們說慢一點，我大概可以聽得懂。）
Previous knowledge about Western philosophy, as well as of environmental
science, is certainly useful. But it is not a requirement.


Course Requirements

There will be four tests and one paper in the class.
The course grade is based on the tests (80% of the course grade;
each test counts 20% of the course grade) and the paper (20% of the course
grade).

Tests will be announced one week in advance. Tests are about the assigned
readings as discussed in class. The paper should be 8-10 pages long.
The topic of the paper is your choice, with the following conditions:
(a) it must be about at least one of the readings assigned, and (b) it must be
a philosophical examination, not a scientific report. Please inform me about
your topic before writing your paper.

Format

We will study assigned readings in class through discussion and lectures.
The assigned readings are mostly the so-called classical papers in
environmental ethics, written in the past three decades. Note that because
they are the “classics,” they are often the first attempt by philosophers
to make sense of a certain problem. Such first tries are not always complete
or correct. We need to analyze and criticize them. Your participation will
make the course fun. Discussion, doubts, and questions are strongly encouraged.
You will benefit if you read the assigned readings before the relevant class
meeting.
