Humans current ways of living do more than threaten Earths life-sustaining capacities they threaten existence itself. This course will examine differing moral visions of Earth ethics that seek to support the common good. The complex relationship between climate change and social justice will be a main focus, and will be explored through the lenses of Christianity and other religions. Topics to be covered include: humans proper role as moral agents, environmental virtues, the place of religion in addressing ecological crises, and more. The methodologies of liberation theology, ecofeminism, environmental justice, and critical perspectives from the Global South will be emphasized.
