Issues in Environmental Ethics Nilamadhab Swain Research Scholar Department of Philosophy Pondicherry University Puducherry – 605014 Generally Morality refers to the concept of human ethics which pertains to matters of good and evil, often referred to as “right or wrong”, used in three contexts – individual conscience, systems of principles, and judgements; these three collectively called moral values. Morality is a collection of beliefs as to what constitutes a good life. Morals reflect a cultural predominant feeling on ethical issues. Most of the cultures have reverence for life and hold that all individuals have a right to live. Morals differ from ethics because morals reflect the predominant feeling of culture. Moral codes are often complex definitions of right and wrong that are based upon well-defined value systems and dictate proper personal conduct. The systematic study of morality is a branch of philosophy called “ethics”. Environmental Ethics deal with issues related to the rights of individuals that are fundamental to life and well-being. They are concerned about not only the needs of each person, but also those who will come after us. It also deals with the rights of other living creatures that inhabit the Earth.
