The Environmental Educator's Page
To the best of our knowledge,
the first course in Environmental Ethics to be
offered by a philosopher at any campus of the University of
California was introduced by the Gadfly in the Spring of 1980.
That course has since evolved as he has presented it numerous
times at campuses in California, Colorado, and most recently
(Winter, 1997) at Northland College in Wisconsin. We devoutly
hope that there will be more such occasions in the
future.
Herein we include, for the use of
Environmental Ethics teachers elsewhere, the basic course
materials for that class: the syllabus, the introductory essay,
and a collection of topical essays. Our only conditions for
their use are the usual: (a) acknowledgment of their source,
and (b) notification to the author. (Our e-mail address:
gadfly@igc.org).
