What we ought to do with respect to the environment

Reference no: EM13496221

1. During the second and third weeks of the semester, we canvassed various ethical theories, including Consequentialism, Kantianism, Social Contract Theory, and Virtue Ethics. Briefly explain how each of these theories understands our obligations to non-humans and the natural world. Of these four, which do you think provides the most plausible account of these obligations? In other words, which view do you think best accounts for and explains what we ought to do with respect to the environment?
