Moral Environmentalism

In a tedious class on environmental politics, I wrote this paper exploring what the present generation’s moral responsibility to posterity requires it to do about energy use. This paper is interesting to me now, looking back on it, because I hadn’t yet taken John Davidson’s class on Intergenerational Politics, so my ideas about the moral responsibilities I talk about here have grew from here. Also, I didn’t incorporate cited information very well into this paper… Looking back on it, I can’t really tell the separation point between the cited authors’ positions and my own. This seems like a common undergrad error that I’ve improved on much since 2005.
