Every person shall strive to protect and enhance the beautiful everywhere his or her impact is felt, and to maintain or increase the functional diversity of the environment in general.
In one page discuss and critique this formulation of the environmental ethic.
The first is that the Environmental Advisory Council, after the invention of the Ethic concept made a human decision on health and decided not to issue it without the hard and fearful finding that the problem might not be accepted by the people. This I translate from the first two statements, the purpose of what is considered to be the elimination of the hiring of the message by suggesting that it might be directed to something else. Suppose, critics seem, that in pursuit of a sense of sharpness they should have been disturbed in humanity?
The second idea is the "Ethic" courage, proposing Beauty as a moral guide. This is in line with western culture, and some may argue that it is limited to inadequacy by attracting a standard outside the limits of thinking that our science-based society allows and allows.
However, I gather that "Ethic" has attracted as many as it has done to me. Dr Morse has set up a new benchmark, which shows how straight the road has not yet been taken. By emphasizing her choice as a guide to beauty she tells us that the real reason why our hopes are unreliable. Without an additional source of inspiration, information such as inside information adds a sense of direction, taking us on a random walk or running us into circles. Something beyond facts, details, and logic is needed if humans are to be motivated as naturalists and healers.
Those who have over the last few decades worked for the protection of the environment (more accurately, protecting the planet) should admit, I believe, that the effects of the intellectual delivery of this work have been disappointing. Many of the conservation issues were very wrong in the beginning. Counterfeit, make-up, and recurring admiration, their repeated quest for a sense of beauty transformed us into the Phillistines we lost.
The power of the people themselves to counteract the devastation, destruction, and pollution of the earth seems to be started more in the heart than in the head. Its source attracts a variety of organic whles, an inner sense of the rightness of the harmonious relationship between mankind and the Earth, a commitment to the natural world as we learn to recognize and accept it. Undoubtedly this secret love of Nature - of geography, region, biology - is reinforced by understanding, a point that must be restored temporarily. But it is reasonable, as argued by Dr Morse, that, to be admired by everyone without tradition, natural respect must attract the basic sense of art that all seem to share.
We don't have to start at zero place, the author says, because humanity has made a start. We can move forward, striving for "greater appreciation and development of virtue, without disappointment should development slow." After that an important point is made. The good is not just visual and endearing; it also captures creativity. Therefore "one must develop a good and moral understanding." It is here referred to the virtue of doing what is right in the Universe in which humanity exists as an integral part, thus saving the "Ethic" from claiming, as is often said, that those with greater interest in nature have given up the struggle for justice in human affairs.
