Humans have necessary relationship whith nature. because Humans are themselves a part of nature. what contents of relationdship Humans have to do with nature is determinded. I believe environmental ehtics dependons on what contents of relationdship Humans have to do with nature. I think the enquiry of an environmental ehtics is not complete without discussing humans' caracter concerning environment
I discussed first whether environmental virtue is possible. In order to advocate the possibility of environmental virtue, I argued the virtue of benevolence, so called human virtue, is expanded and is applicable to environmental field. And I discussed the environmental virtue ethics, if possible, also is divided into two versions, supplement version and substitute version. The environmental virtue ethics has different contents from each of version.
The environmental virtue ethics could have, it will be said, some disadventage, so called, lack of ability in action guidance, what does'nt virtuous person result a good effect, what standard make distinguishing virtueos person and nonvirtueous person. But I discussed these are not shortcomings of environmental virtue ethics. because this opinion concerning about defects of environmental virtue ethics is caused by their misunderstood of environmental virtue ethics.
The environmental virtue ethics will be come out from this my discussing.
