Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the understanding of nature in the contemporary era of human intervention in nature, both at the ecosystem level and at the genetic level, from the perspective of Bookchin's critique of hierarchy. In critiquing the instrumental understanding of nature and life, Bookchin drew upon dialectical naturalism as his rationale. In this study, I worked on Bukhtin's attitude, which regards nature as freedom and the expansion of diversity, as a kind of environmental virtue. The results of this study will be completed as a thesis in 2023. In addition, as part of the work to organize the theoretical foundation of this study, I translated a book of Ronald Sandler, Character and Environment, one of the major literatures on environmental virtue ethics, as "Environmental Virtue Ethics" and published it in 2022.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
環境保護につとめる道徳的動機には、人権侵害や不正義への問題意識と並んで、個人の生や社会のあり方についての徳倫理学的関心があげられるが、この点についての研究は国内ではまだ研究を発展させる余地がある。本研究はそうした取り組みの一つとして貢献するものである。また、これまでのところ日本国内では環境徳倫理学について翻訳がほとんど進んでいない状況であるが、サンドラーの著作を日本語読者に紹介できたことは、哲学・倫理学関係者のみならず、環境保護に関心のある人びとへの大きな貢献だと考える。
