While the environmental crisis is a physical crisis--a crisis of extinction, biodiversity, pollution, and climate change--it is also a crisis of reason, challenging our usual ways of thinking about human and non-human life and demanding significant changes in the ways we think, act and behave. This unit aims to investigate the origins of the environmental crisis and develop alternative models of thinking and acting. We will also examine key philosophical and ecological concepts (e.g., nature, culture, society, responsibility, biodiversity, sustainability), explore the possibility of an ethics beyond the human, and consider new conceptions of agency, responsibility and multi-species justice.
