Respect for the World

More about the book

Focusing on the ethical implications of large-scale environmental transformations, the book introduces a new ethical framework called universal ethics, which expands traditional ethical systems to include the moral consideration of all entities, living or non-living. By building on Paul W. Taylor's environmental ethics, it explores the morality of ambitious projects like terraforming Mars, aiming to create a sustainable environment for human habitation. Targeted at scholars and professionals in ethics, environmental philosophy, and space law, it encourages a broader understanding of our responsibilities toward nature.
