EE-INDIVIDUAL

=Environmental Ethics Perspective: INDIVIDUALISM=

This page will cover the following aspects of individualism in respect to how it relates to environmental ethics. This perspective holds that individual organisms have more moral weight than collectives. So individuals > species > ecosystems. The contents of this page will analyze whether some individuals of certain species have more weight than other individuals of certain species. Individualists can be APCers or Non-APCers/ Intrinsic Valuers.

<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> **GROUP MEMBERS** (**Disclaimer**: I based the group on your responses to the survey. Some of you did not fit easily into one group due to limitations of the survey or contradictory responses by you! If you wish to switch groups, please email me and tell which group would better fit you and if someone from THAT group seeks to switch into THIS group, then we'll make the switch - please do this sooner than later!). Finally, please keep in mind that this is imperfect, there may be many aspects of this perspective that you do NOT agree with. That's fine, the primary goal is to elucidate as clearly as possible the strongest arguments - and criticisms - for this perspective. I would expect that by the end of the course many of you will (hopefully) have more nuanced views, positions and even different fundamental positions. So basically, don't take your "group identity" too seriously. : ) )


 * Please sign up for an area and role. First come, first serve. The areas are listed here (please note I have changed the "Bird's Eye" area to a new area: "Weak-Strong Views" - basically this area covers two main topics: 1) the "weak" version of your perspective and the "strong" version, and 2) Anthropocentrism vs. Non-Anthropocentrism. I've also added a fifth area, "Public Policy Implications." For more on this see** Group Wiki Areas. Click here for more detail on the Group Wiki Roles
