La visión crítica del pragmatismo ambiental respecto a la ética ambiental tradicional

Abstract

Environmental ethics makes its appearance in the 1970s, up in order to evaluate properly philosophical field from a man’s relationship with nature from the point of view of ethics. This discipline, like philosophy as a whole, has been deployed in various concepts that seek to understand and explain, from several perspectives, the moral behavior of people about the natural world. My intention in this paper is not to analyze these positions, but to present some of the criticisms that have been made recently, from the point of view of environmental pragmatism, to the ways and methods adopted in the work of environmental ethics, which, seen from pragmatism, were stuck in metaethical academic discussions, thereby causing poor or no assessment of actual environmental problems and viable proposals in cases of
conflict resolution.
