Abstract

This chapter argues that we create our society’s aspirational norms for environmental preservation and restoration through our social process of moral construction. This is a political process that leads to our practical norms for “fair and reasoned discourse,” e.g., this discourse should be informed, inclusive of the opinions of those affected, uncorrupted by personal and direct conflicts of interest, and logical in premises and deductions. From this discourse of moral construction, our environmental duties—both perfect and imperfect—are derived. The latter duty is shown to be the key to the formation of our environmental advocacy organizations as well as for their efforts.

Fußnoten
1
Some of this section reflects Robinson (2019, Chapters 2 and 3).
 
2
The term Kantian constructivism was introduced by John Rawls (1980). It is founded on the ideal of the autonomous free will of individuals who construct moral principles using practical reason. See Freeman (2003, p. 27).
 
3
See Rawls (1989) for a full description of this philosophy.
 
4
The European Enlightenment is that period of the late sixteenth century through the eighteenth century that included the contributions of David Hume, John Locke and others.
 
5
It is obvious that Socratic philosophy relies on social discourse as in the Dialogues, but it does not suggest a broader social acceptance.
 
6
Habermas (2002) explores the role that religion might play in this Kantian discourse.
 
7
Habermas (1990, 1999) explores this ethical discourse in a Kantian framework. This approach to discourse ethics is explored substantively in the next chapter.
 
8
In the terminology of Kant, we should be concerned with the synthetic a priori conception of “fairness.” See Kant (1781), and Downie (1995), for explanations of the synthetic a priori.
 
9
See Allison (1995).
 
10
See Downie (1995).
 
11
See O’Neill (2000) and Sullivan (1994) for reviews of Kant’s ethics.
 
12
Below, we use Sullivan’s (1994, p. 29) interpretations from the original language of these imperatives.
 
13
See Plato (1989).
 
14
The pursuit of the kingdom of ends can be interpreted as the pursuit of the good. This is the interpretation of an important contributions by Moran (2012) who points out the communal nature of this motivation.
 
15
See Moran (2012).
 
16
See Rawls (1989), and Sullivan (1994, Chapter 2).
 
17
In this context, beneficence means “doing or producing good.”
