Environmentalism, moral responsibility, and the doctrine of doing and allowing
Ethics, Place and Environment 9 (3):269 – 278 (2006)
| Abstract | In 'Doing and Allowing', Samuel Scheffler argues that if a person sees herself as subject to norms of individual moral responsibility, then the content of her first-order substantive norms of individual moral responsibility must attribute greater responsibility to what one does than to what one could, but fails, to prevent. This paper is about how a morally responsible agent could deny the doctrine of doing and allowing, why an environmentalist should, and what this means for environmental ethical theory. | |||||||||
