Sobre IBD

This book defends a Kantian environmental virtue ethic, challenging the view that Kant’s moral philosophy has little to offer environmental ethics. Svoboda contends that on Kantian grounds, there is good moral reason to care about non-human organisms in their own right and to value their flourishing independently of human interests.

  • On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
    HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...

    Friedrich Nietzsche
